How it works
A step-by-step guide to online notarization
Remote online notarization (RON) lets you get documents notarized over a secure, recorded video call instead of meeting in person. Here's exactly how it works with Robin Nunn, a Texas Remote Online Notary.
- You need a photo ID, a device with a camera, internet, and your document
- Your identity is verified with credential analysis and a knowledge quiz (KBA)
- You meet Robin on an encrypted, recorded video call and sign electronically
- Your document receives a tamper-evident seal and is retained for 5 years
Most documents qualify online; wills, codicils, and testamentary trusts must be signed in person under Texas law.
