Notarize from Anywhere
in Florida. No Travel.

How Florida RON Works — 6 Steps

1. Choose a Florida-commissioned RON provider. Confirm the notary holds an active Florida RON commission under §117.225, F.S.
2. Upload your document. PDF format. Do not sign before the session.
3. Verify your identity. Pass credential analysis (ID upload) plus knowledge-based authentication (KBA) — typically 5 questions about public records, with at least 80% correct within 2 minutes.
4. Connect by secure video. The notary confirms identity, willingness, and awareness on camera in a live session.
5. Sign electronically. All signers apply e-signatures during the live session — Florida RON requires real-time signing with the notary present.
6. Receive the sealed document. The notary applies a digital seal and tamper-evident certificate. The session recording is retained 10 years per §117.245, F.S.

What Documents Can Be Notarized Online in Florida

Most documents that can be notarized in person can be notarized online. Eligible documents include:

• Affidavits and sworn statements
• Powers of attorney (durable, financial, healthcare, limited)
• Bills of sale and vehicle title transfers
• Deeds, quit-claim deeds, and most real estate documents
• Trust documents and certifications
• Healthcare directives and surrogate designations (subject to verification)
• Business contracts and corporate resolutions
• Apostille pre-processing notarizations

Documents That CANNOT Be Notarized Online in Florida

• Marriage ceremonies — Florida law requires the parties to physically appear before the officiant under §741.07, F.S.
• Some last wills and testaments — Florida permits electronic wills under §732.521 et seq., but specific procedural requirements apply; consult an estate attorney before relying on RON for a will.
• Documents with state-specific recipient rules — some out-of-state recipients (especially county recorders) require traditional notarization. Confirm with the receiving party.

Identity Verification (the Florida RON Standard)

Florida RON requires a layered identity verification standard that meets or exceeds in-person ID verification. The process includes:

• Credential Analysis — automated forensic analysis of a government-issued photo ID, including security feature checks
• Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA) — typically 5 dynamic questions drawn from public records, requiring at least 80% correct within a 2-minute window, with no more than 2 attempts in a 24-hour period
• Visual confirmation — the notary visually compares the signer to the ID during the live session

If KBA cannot be completed (limited credit history, recent move, etc.), in-person mobile notary is the alternative path.

What You Need to Run a RON Session

1. A computer, tablet, or phone with a working camera and microphone
2. Stable broadband internet (cellular data works for short sessions)
3. A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID
4. A Social Security Number or other identifier sufficient for KBA
5. The document in PDF format, complete but unsigned
6. 15 minutes of uninterrupted time in a quiet location
