Remote Online Notarization (RON)

Remote online notarization combines an online meeting with identity checks, electronic documents, and required records. This resource collection helps clients prepare for a session and helps notaries explore the training behind a consistent workflow.

Prepare for remote online notarization

First, confirm that the intended recipient accepts the planned form of notarization. Explain the document and request to the service provider. Ask what equipment, identification, and preparation the session requires. Resolve these questions before the scheduled meeting.

Our client preparation guide walks through common planning points. Read it before the appointment so you can ask focused questions. Also choose a quiet place with a reliable connection and enough time to complete the process.

Understand the workflow behind the screen

An online appointment includes more than a video call. The notary must work through the required checks and manage the electronic documents and records. A failed identity check or a technical interruption may change what happens next.

For that reason, clear communication matters. Follow the provider's instructions and ask before changing a document or restarting a step. Do not assume that any video meeting can serve as a remote notarization session.

Explore the training path

Commissioned notaries can review the TTS Academy specialist program. It covers guided workflows, technology, identity checks, recordkeeping, and practical scenarios. Our notary training collection also explains how to choose a starting point.

Training develops skills. It does not grant a commission, online notary authorization, or platform approval. Review the published course requirements and the Academy policies before enrolling.

Use official Florida guidance

Finally, consult the Florida Department of State's RON guidance for the current registration and technology requirements. Use that source when checking the official process.

For a service question, describe your request to TTS so the document, timing, and available options can be discussed. The articles below provide further reading on remote online notarization and preparation for a secure, organized session.
