Anywhere. Anytime. Notarized: 4 Ways Remote Online Notarization (RON) Empowers You

Claudia Mitchell-McLeod • May 16, 2025

Picture This...

You just got off the phone with your mother’s doctor. They need a medical power of attorney notarized today. You’re a full-time caregiver, it’s 90 degrees outside, and the thought of packing up and driving to a notary—or waiting for one to come to you—feels impossible.


But then you remember: Remote Online Notarization is an option.


You grab your laptop, log in, and 15 minutes later… done.


No printing. No driving. No waiting.



Here’s how Remote Online Notarization (RON) empowers people just like you—every single day:

1. It’s Fast, Flexible, and Just a Click Away

Whether you're a busy parent, a professional on the go, or caring for someone at home, RON offers convenience on your terms. All you need is:



  • A smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera
  • An internet connection
  • A quiet space for the session


Notary Near Me Florida can be as close as your device. No travel. No printer. No hassle.

2. It Overcomes the Challenges of Traditional ID Verification

During a RON session, you must prove your identity. Traditionally, this is done through Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA)—you know, those tricky questions like:


  • “Which of these streets have you lived on?”
  • “Who was your mortgage lender in 2005?”


KBA can trip up anyone, especially if you’ve moved a lot, recently changed names, or just don’t have extensive credit history.


That’s where biometric verification comes in. Florida allows platforms to use facial recognition to match your photo ID with your live image on screen.


It’s quick. It’s secure. And it means more people can access RON—even if they’d struggle with KBA.

3. It’s Inclusive: You Can Be Anywhere—So Can Your Witnesses

During your online notarization, I must be located in Florida—but you and any required witnesses can be anywhere.


That means:


  • You could be in Georgia.
  • Your sibling could be in New York.
  • Your lawyer could be reviewing everything from California.


Distance is no longer a barrier. We can all meet in the same secure online session and get it done.

4. It’s Legal, But Know the Limits

Most documents are eligible for remote notarization—but not all. For example, some states restrict certain estate planning or real estate documents from being notarized remotely.


Also, for RON to be successful:

  • You’ll need the document completed (but not signed) before the session begins.
  • You’ll sign electronically during the live video call in my presence.


If you’re ever unsure, we’ll talk it through together first.
