Remote Online Notary Services
Meet with an authorized Rhode Island online notary from your home, office, or while traveling—using a secure live audio-video session.
Online Notarization Without the Travel
Remote Online Notarization, or RON, allows the signer and notary to communicate in real time while the signer’s identity is verified and the electronic document is signed and notarized. It can be especially useful for clients in another state or country, travelers, busy professionals, and matters involving multiple signers.
Important: Not every document, recording office, foreign authority, or receiving organization accepts remote notarization. Confirm acceptance with the receiving party before your appointment. We can also review whether an apostille may be required after notarization.

Remote Notary FAQs
Can I sign while outside Rhode Island?
Yes. The notary remains physically located in Rhode Island, while the signer may be located anywhere in the world.
Can my online-notarized document receive an apostille?
Yes. Remotely notarized documents can proceed to apostille. I will complete the notarization and process the document for apostille. During our remote notarization session, we can discuss any additional authentication or apostille requirements.
Can multiple signers join from different locations?
Yes. Multiple signers can usually join from separate locations, provided each signer completes the required identity verification and joins the live audio-video session. Please confirm scheduling and witness requirements in advance.
