June 2, 2025

What Is Remote Online Notarization (RON)?

Remote Online Notarization (RON) is a modern, secure way to get your documents notarized completely online, without having to meet a notary in person. Using audio-visual technology, verified identity checks, and digital signatures, RON makes it easier than ever to complete important paperwork—anytime, anywhere.

At ANF Signings LLC, we’re proud to offer trusted RON services that are fast, convenient, and legally compliant.

How Does Remote Online Notarization Work?

Here’s a step-by-step look at how the RON process works with us:

✅ Step 1: Submit Your Document

You’ll start by uploading the document that needs to be notarized. This can include:

Power of Attorney
Real Estate Forms
Wills or Trusts (depending on state regulations)
Affidavits
Business Agreements
Adoption or Immigration Papers

✅ Step 2: Verify Your Identity

Before the session begins, we use secure tools to verify your identity using:

Government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, passport, etc.)
Knowledge-based authentication (you answer security questions based on public records)

✅ Step 3: Meet with the Notary Online

Once verified, you'll join a live video call with one of our certified remote online notaries. During the session:

You’ll confirm your intent to sign the document
The notary witnesses the signing in real time
The session is recorded for legal security

✅ Step 4: Receive Your Notarized Document

After the session:

The document is digitally signed and sealed
You receive a secure, tamper-proof PDF copy via email
All notarizations are stored in compliance with state retention requirements
