Frequently Asked Questions
What is remote online notarization (RON)?
RON lets you get documents notarized via video call from a licensed notary — no in-person visit required. The notary verifies your identity through knowledge-based authentication and applies a digital seal. Most major platforms (Notarize, DocuSign Notary, NotarizeME) support RON in the states that allow it.
Does my state allow RON?
As of 2026, the majority of US states have passed RON legislation. The guide covers all 50 states with current RON status and the maximum fee your notary can charge per notarial act.
Can a notary charge more than the state cap?
No. Notaries in capped states are prohibited from charging more than the statutory maximum per notarial act. Exceeding the cap can result in loss of commission. The guide lists the current cap for every capped state.
