How It Works

What Is Remote Online Notarization?

Remote online notarization (RON) in Pennsylvania is a service that allows notaries to perform notarial acts remotely on behalf of customers using audio-visual technology. This is the online equivalent of an in-person notarization, but with the signer appearing virtually instead of in person.

As a commissioned Pennsylvania Online Notary, we can perform legally binding electronic notarizations for U.S. citizens located anywhere in the United States or abroad, provided identity verification requirements are met.

We are available 24/7 for RON appointments. Please check the Fees page for pricing.
