What is Remote On-line Notarization?
Remote On-line Notarization, or RON, is the notarization of a signature using a state approved platform that allows the Notary and the signer to appear before each other at the time of the notarization using audio-visual technology over the internet rather than meeting face-to-face in the same location. The State of Florida adopted Remote On-line Notarizations as of January 1, 2020.

How is my identification verified for remote notarizations?
The State of Florida requires a two-step ID verification process:
Must the signer be in Florida?

How is my identification verified for remote notarizations?
The State of Florida requires a two-step ID verification process:
- Knowledge Based Authentication (KBA) is used to confirm that you are who you say you are. (Your credit is not “pulled”, but your history is used to generate 5-questions for the KBA test).
- You are asked a series of multiple-choice questions by a third-party provider, the answers for which can be found in public records. Questions can be like “what was the house number when you lived on a particular street” or “what financial institution holds the mortgage on your home” or “what color was the car you had in a specific year.”
- The credential verification step requires that the signer have a Smart Phone as they must take a picture of the front and back of their Driver License or State issued ID card or Passport and upload it to a provider site along with a selfie. The credential verification process compares the picture on the ID with the selfie and verifies the information in the bar code on the Driver License or ID card.
- NOTE - Is your Credit Report Locked? If your credit report is locked, you will not pass the ID verification process. You must first contact the credit bureaus to unlock your credit report.
