While Remote Online Notarization (RON) has become a viral mainstay in the 2026 business world, many people are still catching up to the tech. At jbensonNotary, we want to ensure you have total clarity on how this modern tool can streamline your workflow.
Here are the top 10 most common questions we hear about the digital notary experience:
1. What is Remote Online Notarization (RON)?
RON is a secure and convenient process of notarizing documents using digital technology—such as a computer or tablet—to conduct the notarial act over a secure video link.
2. Is RON legally recognized?
Yes. In 2026, the vast majority of U.S. states have adopted permanent RON laws. Furthermore, it is authorized for transactions between parties in all jurisdictions where federal law applies under the E-SIGN Act.
3. What types of documents can be notarized?
Commonly notarized digital documents include Power of Attorney, Deeds, Mortgages, and Trusts.
4. What technology is required?
You simply need a computer, laptop, or tablet with a working webcam, microphone, and a stable internet connection. We provide the secure platform for the session.
5. Is it actually secure?
Absolutely. RON utilizes advanced security measures that exceed traditional methods, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), credential analysis to spot fake IDs, and encrypted digital signatures to protect document integrity.
6. How do I know if RON is available in my state?
Most states are now “RON-live.” You can verify current status with your Secretary of State or use a quick-reference map.
7. How does the process work?
The platform connects the signer with a notary via a live video session. The notary witnesses the digital signature in real-time and applies an electronic seal and certificate.
8. What are the main benefits?
The “big four” are: convenience, time savings, global accessibility, and reduced travel costs associated with in-person meetings.
9. Can I use RON for any document?
Eligibility varies slightly by state and document type (e.g., some states have specific rules for wills). It is always best to check with your Secretary of State or ask us directly!
10. How do I find a reliable provider?
You can find a provider through state-approved lists or by partnering with a modern, tech-forward service like jbensonNotary.
