About Mobile Notarization
Like the traditional notary public, the mobile notary must hold current commission and licensure at the state government level in order to authenticate documents within that state. This means they must adhere to the state’s demands and standards.
In other words, mobile (and, for that matter, remote online) notarization is just as valid and secure as any other form of notarization. In fact, the only difference between a traditional notary and a mobile notary lies in the physical location of the notary services provided. While the traditional notary works out of an office, mobile notaries travel to their clients to perform services on site.
About Remote Online Notarization
While mobile notarization predates the digital revolution by many years, remote online notarization (RON) would be impossible without internet/mobile network connectivity and other modern technological marvels. With RON, neither the notary nor any party involved needs to be in the same place at the same time to sign a legally binding document. By taking advantage of tools such as digital signatures and video conferencing, this high-tech form of notarization can support legally binding agreements between signees on opposite sides of the world.
The Advantages of RON and Mobile Notarization
Compared to the traditional notarization processes of yesterday, the ease and convenience of RON and mobile notarization are obvious benefits to individuals and organizations of all kinds. Because they allow people to sign documents wherever they happen to be, these advanced forms of notarization have changed the face of business in many different sectors. For example, financial service providers who conduct estate planning can now easily help severely ailing clients sign wills and other important end-of-life documents on their deathbeds.
