How ProNotary Protects Against Fraud in Remote Online Notarizations

Posted June 13, 2025

ProNotary is engineered with multiple layers of defense to ensure trust, integrity, and compliance in every notarization. Here’s how we safeguard your transactions.

1. Multi-Factor Identity Verification

ProNotary employs a robust multi-factor authentication system that combines:

  • Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA): Signers answer questions generated from credit or public record data.
  • Credential Analysis: AI-powered scanning analyzes government-issued IDs for authenticity, matching official security features.
  • Biometric Verification: Facial recognition ensures the signer matches the ID provided.

2. Full Audio-Visual Session Recording

Every RON session includes continuous audio, video, and on-screen recording to ensure:

  • Transparent Transactions: The full interaction is captured—ID presentation through final signature.
  • Tamper Evidence: Any attempt to alter the recording invalidates the session’s integrity.
  • Dispute Resolution: Recorded sessions serve as admissible evidence for legal and compliance reviews.

Secure Digital Seals & Tamper-Evident Technology

Each notarized document receives:

  • Electronic Notary Seal & Signature: Cryptographically tied to the session and signer.
  • Tamper-Evident Protection: Any change after notarization breaks the digital signature, exposing unauthorized modifications.

Immutable Audit Trails & Secure Storage

ProNotary logs every event—including logins, ID uploads, KBA results, timestamps, and IP addresses—in a detailed audit trail.

  • Compliance Assurance: Supports regulatory oversight and simplifies audits.
  • Secure Data Handling: All data, including audio-video files, is encrypted in transit and at rest, with tightly controlled access.

Why This Matters for You

ProNotary’s fraud prevention measures provide:

  • Secure signings that reduce risk and liability
  • Legal defensibility supported by comprehensive evidence trails
  • Client confidence through rigorous protection and verification processes

Final Thoughts

RON isn’t just efficient—it’s stronger, safer, and more defensible. With built-in identity proofing, tamper controls, recording requirements, and compliance safeguards, ProNotary reinforces every notarization with security that traditional in-person processes cannot match.
