Online Notarization Basics
Online Notarization Basics
What is remote online notarization?
Remote Online Notarization (RON) lets you get a document notarized over a secure, recorded audio-video call instead of meeting in person. You verify your identity, sign electronically, and receive a sealed digital document — all online.
Who is Robin Nunn?
Robin Nunn is a commissioned Texas Notary Public and Remote Online Notary with years of experience in the legal field and inside law firms. She holds an A.A.S. in Paralegal Studies and carries $30,000 in E&O insurance.
Is online notarization legal in Texas?
Yes. Texas authorizes Remote Online Notarization under Texas Government Code Chapter 406. Robin Nunn is a commissioned Texas online notary and performs every session from Texas, as the law requires.
How does the online notarization process work?
Four simple steps: 1) Start your session online, 2) Verify your identity with your photo ID, 3) Meet Robin on a secure, recorded video call, and 4) Sign electronically and download your sealed document — usually the same day.
What do I need to get started?
You need a valid government-issued photo ID, a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone, a stable internet connection, and the document you need notarized. There is nothing to install.
How long does an online session take?
Most single-document online signings take about 10 to 15 minutes from identity check to a sealed, downloadable document. Larger packages take a little longer.
What platform do you use?
Robin notarizes on BlueNotary, a leading, security-audited remote online notarization platform with strong identity verification. You join from any device with a camera and microphone — nothing to install.
Can you notarize for me if I live in another state?
Often, yes. Texas law lets a Texas online notary serve signers located anywhere in the U.S., and you can sign from wherever you are. Whether your finished document is accepted is up to the receiving party, so it is good to confirm their requirements. Send Robin your document and she will confirm before you book.
Can you notarize for someone outside the United States?
Texas law lets the signer be located anywhere, including outside the U.S. Acceptance by a foreign jurisdiction or the receiving institution varies, so it is important to confirm their requirements first. Contact Robin and she will help you sort it out.
Do I need to print anything?
No. For online notarization everything is handled electronically — no printing, scanning, or mailing required.
Can more than one person sign?
Yes, multiple signers can be notarized. Each signer verifies their own identity. Let Robin know how many signers and which documents so she can prepare.
What languages do you speak?
Robin conducts sessions in English. If you have specific language needs, mention it when you reach out and she will let you know how she can help.
Security, Identity & Legal Validity
Security, Identity & Legal Validity
How is my identity verified?
Before signing, your government-issued photo ID is checked with credential analysis, plus knowledge-based authentication (KBA) — a short identity quiz. This protects you and meets Texas RON requirements.
What ID do you accept?
A current, government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license, state ID, or passport works. The platform performs credential analysis on it during your session.
Are sessions recorded?
Yes. Every session is encrypted and the audio-video recording is securely retained for 5 years, exactly as Texas law requires.
Is online notarization secure and private?
Yes. Sessions are identity-verified, encrypted, and recorded for compliance, and your finished document carries a tamper-evident digital seal.
What is a tamper-evident digital seal?
A tamper-evident digital seal and certificate are applied to your finished document so any change after notarization can be detected. It is the electronic equivalent of a traditional notary stamp.
Will my notarization be accepted by my bank or court?
Robin performs every notarization under Texas law. Whether a specific document is accepted is determined by the receiving party — a court, agency, lender, or county — which sets its own requirements. It is always wise to confirm with your recipient, and Robin is happy to help.
Is online notarization as valid as in-person notarization?
Both are performed under Texas law. Online notarizations are widely used; acceptance of any document is determined by the receiving party, so confirm requirements with your recipient if you are unsure.
Are you an attorney?
Robin is a notary public, not an attorney, so she cannot give legal advice or tell you which document you need. Notarization verifies your identity and the signing. For legal questions, please consult a licensed attorney.
Are you insured?
Yes. Robin carries $30,000 in Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance and is a commissioned, background-screened Texas notary.
Documents & Eligibility
Documents & Eligibility
What documents can be notarized online?
Robin handles many documents online, including powers of attorney, affidavits and sworn statements, acknowledgments and jurats, oaths and affirmations, medical and school forms, authorizations and consents (such as travel or minor consent), and business or corporate documents. If you are unsure, just ask and Robin will confirm.
Can you notarize a power of attorney online?
Yes. Durable, medical, and limited powers of attorney can be notarized online. Robin will walk you through it on a secure video call.
Can you notarize a will online?
No. Under Texas law, wills, codicils, and testamentary trusts cannot be notarized online and must be signed in person. Robin can point you in the right direction if you need one of these.
Can a living trust be notarized online?
Yes. A living (inter vivos) trust is generally eligible for remote online notarization in Texas. Wills, codicils, and testamentary trusts, however, must be signed in person.
Can you notarize an affidavit?
Yes. Sworn affidavits, declarations, acknowledgments, jurats, and oaths are all handled online.
What is the difference between a jurat and an acknowledgment?
A jurat requires you to swear the contents are true and sign in front of the notary; an acknowledgment confirms you signed willingly. Robin performs both online.
Can you notarize a travel consent or minor consent letter?
Yes. Travel consent letters, parental and minor authorization forms, and similar documents can be notarized online.
Can you notarize business documents?
Yes. Contracts, agreements, corporate resolutions, and partnership documents can be notarized online for individuals and businesses.
Can loan documents be notarized online?
Remote loan document notarization is available. As a Texas Remote Online Notary, Robin can notarize eligible loan-related documents through a secure online platform when permitted by the receiving lender, title company, or institution. Services are limited to remote notarization and do not include traditional in-person loan signing services, document printing, scan-backs, shipping, or dual-tray printing.
Can you notarize an I-9?
An I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification is a federal process, not a notarial act, so it is not something a notary completes. Reach out and Robin can explain your options.
Can you make a certified copy of a birth certificate?
Certified copies of vital records such as birth, death, or marriage certificates must come from the state custodian, so a notary cannot certify those. Robin can help with many other copy certifications — just ask.
Do you notarize vehicle title transfers?
Yes. Robin can notarize a Texas vehicle title transfer where a notarized signature is required — just confirm your county tax office accepts an electronically notarized title. Have your title and photo ID ready, and don't sign until your session begins.
Pricing, Booking & Payment
Pricing, Booking & Payment
How do I book?
Pick your service on the pricing page and book a quick consult on Robin's calendar, or send her a message — she'll confirm your document, timing, and price. Prefer to talk? Call or text Robin at (940) 337-4643.
How does booking and payment work?
There's nothing to pay just to book a consult. Choose your service and grab a time; Robin reviews your document(s), confirms your price, and then sends you a secure payment link to pay online — or takes tap-to-pay in person.
How is my price decided?
It depends on the document(s) you need notarized — how many notarizations and signers, plus whether you need mobile, after-hours, or rush service. The notarial act fee itself is capped by Texas law; mobile and after-hours add a travel or convenience fee. Robin confirms your exact price before any work begins.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Reschedule free with at least 24 hours' notice. For mobile visits a travel portion may be non-refundable once Robin is en route; online services are refundable until work begins. No-shows and same-day cancellations may forfeit a fee.
Are there extra fees I should know about?
The notarial act itself is set by Texas law; travel, rush, and after-hours service are separate. Robin walks through exactly what applies to your document(s) and confirms your price up front, so there are no surprises. This is not legal advice.
How fast can I get notarized online?
Book the next available online consult — often same day. Have your photo ID, a camera-equipped device, and your unsigned document ready, and Robin confirms your price at the start of the session.
What are your hours?
Robin offers flexible scheduling, including evening and weekend appointments. Reach out with your preferred time and she will do her best to accommodate you.
How do I contact Robin?
You can email Robin at robin@notaryave.com or use the contact form on the site. She will get right back to you.

If a document is not eligible for online notarization, Robin will tell you up front and help with an in-person option in the Wichita Falls area where possible, or point you in the right direction.
