What is a virtual notary?

Career: Virtual Notary

A Virtual Notary is a commissioned notary public who performs notarizations electronically using audio-visual technology rather than in person. This process, known as remote online notarization (RON), allows individuals to have documents legally notarized from anywhere with an internet connection. The Virtual Notary verifies identities, witnesses signatures, and applies a digital notarial seal using secure online platforms. These services are legally recognized in many states and are convenient for clients who cannot meet a notary face-to-face.
