What is Remote Online Notarization?

Remote Online Notarization lets an Ohio-authorized notary notarize your electronic document via live two-way audio/video, electronic signatures, and identity verification (credential analysis + KBA), all on a state-compliant platform. 

How Your Online Notarization Works (Step-by-Step)

  1. Schedule & Upload: Pick a time, upload a PDF (no blanks), and tell us the notarial act (acknowledgment or jurat). 

  2. Identity Check:

    • Present a current government ID for credential analysis;

    • Complete a short KBA quiz (multiple-choice questions pulled from public/credit data).
      If needed, a credible witness may be used—subject to Ohio rules. 

  3. Live Video Session: Meet your notary (we must be physically in Ohio during the notarization). You can be anywhere—in the U.S. or abroad (international signers allowed if the record ties to the U.S. and it’s not prohibited where you are).

  4. E-Sign & Seal: You e-sign; we apply our electronic seal and digital certificate. The system makes the file tamper-evident. 

  5. Recording & Journal: The session is audio-video recorded and logged in our electronic journal per Ohio rules. 

  6. Download: Receive your notarized PDF with verification details.

Real Situations We Help With Every Day

Remote Online Notarization isn’t just about documents—it’s about helping people move forward when they can’t be physically present.

Here are real examples of how we’ve helped clients recently:

  • A parent overseas (Egypt) needed to provide consent for their child’s U.S. passport application. We completed the notarization online—securely and on time.

  • A U.S. citizen abroad (Greece) needed tax documents notarized so they could be apostilled for use internationally. We handled the online notarization, making the apostille process possible without travel.

  • A student in Spain needed diploma and academic documents prepared for apostille. We notarized the required copies remotely so they could proceed with international submissions.

  • A client stuck outside the U.S. due to visa issues needed to issue a Power of Attorney to a trusted friend to handle property and vehicle matters. We completed the notarization online, enabling legal action without delay.

  • A vehicle owner out of the country needed to authorize a friend to retrieve a towed car from impound. A remotely notarized authorization allowed their representative to act immediately.

  • Real estate and financial transactions—including agreements, affidavits, and supporting documents—completed securely for clients who could not be physically present.

​

If you’re outside the U.S., traveling, or simply unable to meet in person, we make notarization possible—securely, legally, and without delays.

What You Need for Online Notarization

  • A computer or smartphone with camera/mic & stable internet

  • A current government photo ID (passport/driver’s license)

  • U.S.-based KBA history helps; alternatives may be available via credible witness (when permitted) 

  • Your document as a complete PDF (no blanks)

Compliance, Location & Identification (Ohio Law)

  • We must be in Ohio during your RON; you may be anywhere (U.S. or certain international locations with conditions). 

  • Identity options: personal knowledge, ID + credential analysis + KBA, or credible witness (with its own ID/KBA).

  • Online notarizations use two-way live audio/video on a platform that meets Rule 111:6-1-05.
