Florida Remote Online Notary (RON)

---

Remote online notarization is the act of performing a notarization remotely using two-way audio-video technology. It is the online equivalent of an in-person, paper-based notarization where every part of the process is done via the internet. Like traditional notarizations, RONs begin with the online Notary verifying the signer's identity and ensuring the signer understands the document and is willing to sign it. Please read this article by the National Notary Association for more information. 

No. As long as the notary is in the state where they are commissioned it does not matter where the other party is located. This even includes international online notarizations.
