How Remote e-Signature Notarization Works: The Complete Guide

The world is quickly shifting towards digital solutions, and the way we manage important documents is no exception. Remote Online Notarization (RON) is revolutionizing the notarization process by allowing you to complete notarizations from anywhere, without the need to visit a physical notary. With the convenience of secure video conferencing and the power of e-signature tools like emSigner by eMudhra, RON is transforming document handling into a smooth, secure, and efficient process.

Let’s explore how RON works, why it’s essential, and how emSigner can offer the perfect e-signature solution to meet your remote notarization needs.

What is Remote Online Notarization (RON)?

Remote Online Notarization (RON) is a digital notarization process that allows a certified notary to perform the entire notarization remotely through video conferencing. This means no more running to notary offices—connect with a notary from anywhere and get your documents notarized securely.

RON seamlessly combines e-signatures, video verification, and secure document handling, offering efficiency, flexibility, and security for businesses and individuals.

How Does the RON Process Work?

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how remote online notarization works:

1. Collect and Upload Documents

• Gather all the documents that require notarization.
• Use emSigner to upload your documents to the platform, making them available for signing and notarization.

2. Establish Identity via Video Conference

• The notary will authenticate your identity through secure video conferencing.
• Identity verification may include multi-factor authentication (MFA), answering security questions, or presenting government-issued identification.

3. Document Signing

• Once your identity is verified, you will sign the documents electronically using emSigner’s intuitive interface, allowing you to use:
  • A typed signature
  • A drawn signature with your finger or stylus
  • Uploading an image of your signature

4. Digital Notary Seal and Signature

• The notary applies a digital seal and signature, officially notarizing the document. This step ensures legal compliance and integrity.

5. Secure Record Keeping and Audit Trails

• The entire notarization session is recorded and saved securely. A detailed audit trail tracks every action, including document access, signing, and notarization.
