In today’s legal world, where speed, accuracy, and client experience matter more than
ever, traditional notarization methods are struggling to keep pace. Law firms operating
in 2025 can’t afford to be slowed down by outdated processes like manual paperwork,
courier delays, and in-person scheduling conflicts.


Enter Remote Online Notarization (RON)—

a modern solution designed for the needs of today’s fast-moving legal teams.


The Problem with Traditional Notarization


Legal professionals are no strangers to the headaches caused by traditional
notarization. Missing documents, delayed filings, frustrated clients—all of these pain
points eat into your team’s productivity and your firm’s reputation.
Whether you’re managing time-sensitive real estate transactions or handling high-
stakes litigation, relying on couriers or requiring clients to visit your office can be
inefficient, inconvenient, and increasingly unacceptable in a world that values instant
access and remote services.


The Solution: Remote Online Notarization (RON)


Remote Online Notarization transforms the notarization process from a time-consuming
bottleneck into a seamless digital experience. Using secure, video-based platforms,
attorneys and clients can complete notarizations from anywhere, on any device, in just
minutes.


Key benefits of RON include:


Faster turnarounds for legal documents
Secure, encrypted sessions for peace of mind
24/7 accessibility for clients and team members
Improved client satisfaction with remote convenience


Simply put, RON lets law firms focus on what matters most: delivering results.

Is Remote Online Notarization Legal?

Absolutely. According to the National Notary Association, RON is legally recognized in a
growing number of U.S. states, with well-defined procedures and identity verification
standards in place.
The American Bar Association also reports increasing adoption of RON by law firms
who value its flexibility and compliance with modern legal frameworks. With over 40
states enacting laws supporting RON, it’s no longer a fringe option—it’s fast becoming
the industry standard.
