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 manual paperwork, courier delays, and rigid in-person scheduling.
Remote Online Notarization (RON) offers a modern solution designed for fast-moving legal teams who need efficiency without compromising compliance.
The Problem with Traditional Notarization
Legal professionals know the pain points all too well: missing documents, delayed filings, and frustrated clients. These issues drain productivity and damage your firm’s reputation.
Whether you’re managing time-sensitive real estate closings or handling complex litigation, depending on couriers or requiring clients to visit your office is inefficient, inconvenient, and out of step with today’s expectations for remote access and instant service.
The Solution: Remote Online Notarization (RON)
Remote Online Notarization transforms the notarization process into a seamless digital experience. Using a secure, video-based platform, attorneys and clients can complete notarizations from anywhere, on any device, in minutes.
Key benefits of RON include:
- Faster turnarounds for legal documents
- Secure, encrypted sessions for enhanced protection
- 24/7 accessibility for clients and team members
- Improved client satisfaction through remote convenience
Simply put, RON enables law firms to focus on what matters most: delivering results.
Is Remote Online Notarization Legal?
Yes. Remote Online Notarization is legally recognized in a growing number of U.S. states. National Notary Association (NNA) guidance outlines detailed procedures and identity verification requirements, ensuring compliance and legal validity.
The American Bar Association also reports rising adoption among law firms seeking flexibility, efficiency, and alignment with modern legal frameworks. With more than 40 states enacting laws supporting RON, it is quickly becoming the industry standard—not an experimental alternative.
