How RON Works Step by Step


  • Send your document to us 

The Notary will upload your document to a secure RON platform. This could be anything from a real estate form to a power of attorney or affidavit. 

 

  • Our Notary will send you a link to begin verifying your identity 

This will  include: 

a. Scanning your government issued ID 

b. Answering a few security questions to confirm who you are 


  • Hop on a video call with our Notary 

Next you will join a live video session with the notary. They will check your ID one more time, go over a few things to ensure you are aware of what you are signing and willing, they will then give a brief description of the document, watch you sign the document, and then apply their digital notary seal right on screen. 


  • Your notarized document will be sent to you instantly 

Once everything is signed and sealed the platform will save the document securely and send it to you. Some platforms even include a video recording of the session depending on your state’s rules.
