Remote Online Notarization (RON)

Remote online notarization allows closing documents to be notarized virtually through digital tools. An e-notary, approved by their state, uses audiovisual platforms, e-signature apps, and other online software to carry out the notarization process—eliminating the need for in-person meetings or traditional pen-and-paper signatures.

The Benefits of RON

Expanded access to notarial services

Improved security

Lower risk of ID theft and fraud

With remote online notarization (RON), e-notaries, lenders, title and escrow companies, and real estate attorneys can speed up the delivery of loan documents to clients. It also helps minimize errors and significantly lowers the risk of funding complications.

At Integrity Signers, we offer RON as well as in-person services. Whether you need on-prem, IPEN or RON, Integrity Signers is here for you.

1

For IPEN (In-Person Electronic Notarization), the signer and the notary meet face-to-face in person, but the documents are signed electronically (e.g., on a tablet or computer). Therefore, the process is quite traditional, but aided by digital tools. It is ideal for individuals looking to speed up document handling.

In RIN (Remote Ink-Signed Notarization), the signer and the notary connect remotely via live video and the signer physically signs paper documents with ink. After the notary watches the signing process through video, the signer sends the documents to the notary for completion.

3

Finally, RON (Remote Online Notarization) takes place online documents via secure audiovisual technology, where all parties electronically sign the documents in real time. ideal for speed, convenience, and remote transactions, it is the most modern, fully digital option.
