From Text to Trust: My First Remote Online Notarization

Claudia Mitchell-McLeod • June 12, 2025

It all started with a text:

“Do you do remote online notarization?”


I paused—part excitement, part butterflies—and replied, “Yes, I do.”

What followed was my very first official Remote Online Notarization (RON), and it turned out to be a meaningful milestone in my notary journey.


A few minutes later, another message came through. A woman named Monica needed help notarizing an affidavit—and it was urgent.


The twist? Monica was located in Texas.

But thanks to Remote Online Notarization, that was no issue at all.


As long as I'm physically located in Florida during the session, I can legally notarize documents for clients anywhere in the world.


We scheduled the session for 1:30 PM, giving me just enough time to set up and prepare.

Although I’ve trained and completed practice sessions before, this was my first official client RON—and I was ready.


Monica was kind, patient, and excited that RON was even an option.

Like many clients, she had no idea this kind of notary service was available—from the comfort of her own home.


There were a couple of quick adjustments:

- Her document had been uploaded sideways, so we reloaded it in the correct format.

- And like many first-timers, she had signed it ahead of time. I explained that notaries must witness signatures in real time, so she uploaded an unsigned version and we completed the process together.


Start to finish, it was professional, legal, and seamless—and Monica received her notarized affidavit via email shortly after we wrapped up. Here’s the beauty of Remote Online Notarization:

✔️ No driving

✔️ No meeting up

✔️ No waiting around

✔️ Just fast, secure notarization—on your time
