Why Law Firms Are Switching to Remote Online Notarization in 2025
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 Law firms operating in 2025 can’t afford to be slowed down by outdated processes like manual paperwork, courier delays, and in-person scheduling conflicts.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:

Is Remote Online Notarization Legal?
