jbensonNotary is leading the charge in Remote Online Notarization (RON), a process by which documents can be signed and notarized by a commissioned notary public/signing agent remotely in real-time via a secure video connection.
RON is a game-changer for the New York market. Consumers can now complete real estate closings online in as little as 30 minutes, saving thousands of dollars in travel if buying out of state and shaving days off transactions previously slowed down by snail-mail shipping. It’s faster, more convenient, and significantly more secure.
Is RON Secure?
Before we dive into how RON works, let’s address the elephant in the room: Are online notarizations safe?
The short answer is yes. While new technology can make people nervous, think of it like Uber or Airbnb. Initially, the idea seemed “weird,” but thanks to the technology backing these platforms, they are actually more secure and better documented than traditional methods.
The same is true of RON. It is actually more secure than traditional paper notarization. Identity verification is performed using a combination of forensic ID capture and knowledge-based authentication (KBA). Furthermore, the entire session is recorded and saved in the notary’s electronic journal alongside the digital documents, creating an ironclad audit trail.
