How Title Companies Can Reduce Their Reliance on FedEx with Remote Online Notarization (RON)
For many title companies, managing physical documents means juggling tight deadlines, coordinating multiple signers across different locations, and relying heavily on FedEx to ensure documents arrive on time. While overnight shipping has long been a necessary part of the process, it also brings delays, logistical complexity, and additional costs.
Remote Online Notarization (RON) changes all of that. By integrating RON into your closing workflow, your title company can dramatically reduce—and in many cases eliminate—the need for FedEx. At ProNotary, we make it easy to transition from manual, paper-based operations to a secure, fully digital signing experience. Here’s how RON helps streamline your process.
1. No More Physical Document Shipping
FedEx is often used to send documents to clients who can’t be physically present for a closing. But with RON, documents are uploaded, reviewed, signed, and notarized online. There’s no printing, no scanning, and no shipping required.
Digital notarization ensures faster turnarounds and eliminates the risks associated with shipping delays or misplaced packages.
2. Simplify Multi-Signer Closings
Coordinating FedEx shipments for buyers, sellers, and other parties can take days—especially when signers live in different states. RON removes this complexity entirely. Each signer can join the session from their location and complete the signing in minutes.
The result is a significantly faster, more efficient closing process without the back-and-forth of physical paperwork.
3. Reduce Shipping Costs
Overnight shipping is expensive, and title companies often spend thousands of dollars a year sending documents through FedEx. RON eliminates these recurring costs.
When your entire workflow is digital, documents are securely transmitted online—immediately and without added fees.
4. Enhanced Security and Accuracy
FedEx provides tracking, but physical documents are still at risk of loss, damage, or mishandling. RON significantly improves security with encrypted platforms, identity verification, tamper-evident seals, and audit trails.
Digital signing also reduces the chance of human error, signature omissions, or missing pages.
5. Instant Access to Finalized Documents
Traditional closings often involve waiting days for FedEx to deliver signed documents. With RON, documents are available instantly upon completion. Title companies can immediately review, process, and distribute signed paperwork.
6. Deliver a Better Client Experience
Clients appreciate convenience, especially during a home purchase or refinance. Instead of dealing with shipping schedules, package drop-offs, and tracking numbers, RON gives them the ability to sign documents from home at a time that works for them.
ProNotary’s platform guides clients through the process smoothly, offering a modern, stress-free experience that sets your company apart.
Conclusion
Remote Online Notarization provides a faster, more cost-effective, and secure alternative to traditional FedEx-based workflows. By adopting RON, title companies can accelerate closings, reduce operational expenses, and offer a far better experience for clients and partners.
