What Is Remote Online Notarization?

Remote online notarization (RON) is a process where a notary public and a signer connect via a secure audio-video technology platform to complete a notarization. The signer's identity is verified through knowledge-based authentication (KBA) questions and credential analysis of their government-issued ID. The signer applies an electronic signature, and the notary affixes an electronic seal and notarial certificate — all digitally. The entire session is recorded and stored as a tamper-evident record. RON has been adopted by the majority of U.S. states and is especially popular for real estate transactions, estate planning, and business documents.

How Much Does a Remote Online Notarization (RON) Cost?

$25–$50 per session

Remote online notarization sessions typically cost $25 to $50, which includes the technology platform fee and the notary's fee. Some RON platforms charge per document or per signature. For real estate closings conducted via RON (sometimes called RON closings or eClosings), fees may be higher and are usually included in closing costs. Check whether your state permits RON and whether the receiving party will accept remotely notarized documents.
