Mobile & Remote Online Notaries Explained
While notaries public aren’t necessarily attorneys, they play a critical role in the validation of legal documents. Like all notaries public, mobile and remote online notaries must hold valid licenses at the state level. Therefore, a Missouri notary can only notarize documents in Missouri.
Mobile notaries can travel to a client’s home, place of business or hospital room to perform legally binding notarization services. Remote online notarization (RON) takes the ease of mobile notarization to the next level by placing it entirely in the digital realm and allowing all signing parties and the notary to remain in different physical locations.
