From Mobile to Virtual: Secure, Effortless Remote Online Notarization in North Carolina
Leveraging the power of digital communication and document processing, remote online mobile notarization (or “RON”) has taken the ease and convenience of mobile notarization to a whole new level. The remote online notary trades pen and paper for digital signatures and presides over “virtual” document signing processes on secure channels of the internet.
Ready to experience best notary convenience and security? Here’s how RON offers a huge advantage over traditional notary services:
- Ultimate Convenience & Efficiency: Get your documents notarized anytime, anywhere in North Carolina, as long as you have a reliable internet connection. There’s no need to travel, deal with traffic or adjust your day.
- Maximum Document Security: When it comes to your important documents and personal information, security is our top priority. Our RON platform uses advanced encryption and multi-factor authentication to keep everything safe and secure. With our tamper-proof technology, you’ll be able to tell right away if any changes were made, ensuring complete peace of mind for everyone.
- Immediately Accessible Notary Services for All: Remote online notarization makes notaries immediately accessible to individuals who may have difficulty traveling due to disabilities, demanding schedules or hard-to-reach locations.
- Record Keeping: Remote online notarizations are electronically recorded, with a document trail that can be easily accessed, verified and audited if needed. This adds an extra layer of protection and transparency.
- Eco-Friendly Choice: By eliminating paper documents and travel, RON is a more sustainable choice with a greener impact.
When Might You Need a Mobile or Remote Online Notary?
All types of professionals and private citizens can benefit from the ease and convenience of on-site notarization, whether in-person or digital. Mobile and remote online notaries can authenticate many important documents including those associated with nearly any real estate and general business transaction. Other professionals commonly need notaries as well.
Attorneys can use mobile or remote online notaries to file restraining orders, transfer deeds of debt, and validate a range of family law documents. Financial advisors can use the same notaries to authenticate wills and living trusts among other critical estate planning documents. While notaries play an essential role in the authentication of legal documents, they are NOT qualified attorneys and do not provide legal advice.

FAQs: First Class Mobile Notary & RON Services in North Carolina
Hiring a mobile notary (also known as a traveling notary) or a remote online notary service should be a simple and secure process. These questions will help you prepare for your appointment and feel confident that your documents are being handled correctly.
Q: How high are the fees associated with FCSS’ mobile and remote online notary services?
A: Fees for all notary services in North Carolina are closely regulated to ensure that citizens are treated fairly and receive full value for their document-notarization dollar.
Q: How can I prepare for a mobile or remote online notary?
A: First and foremost, you should have all necessary documents ready and on hand for notarization. To confirm your identity, you should have a driver’s license, a passport or another form of ID that is deemed valid by the State of North Carolina.
Q: How will a mobile notary verify my identity?
A: When you’re ready for your document to be notarized, here’s what to expect:
Be present: You’ll need to meet the notary in person or online for RON (Remote Online Notarization).
Bring your ID: Have a valid, government-issued photo ID ready. Common examples include a driver’s license, passport, or state-issued ID.
Verification: The notary will inspect your ID to confirm it’s not expired and that the name on it matches the name on your document.
Q: Can a mobile or online notary help me complete my document or give me legal advice for my situation?
A: No. In North Carolina, a mobile notary is not allowed to give legal advice or assist in the preparation of legal documents. Their role is to witness and verify your identity, not to offer legal guidance. If a notary provides legal advice, it is a violation of their duties.
However, First Class Signing goes beyond notarization. For your convenience, we also offer professional legal document preparation services. Our Certified Legal Document Preparers (CLDPs) can handle a wide range of needs, including business, estate planning, divorce, adoption and more.
Q: How can I make sure I’m getting a fair and transparent price for a signing?
A: Before you schedule an appointment, always ask for a clear breakdown of the costs. This should include the notarial fee, which is set by the state, as well as any travel or convenience fees. We are upfront about our pricing, so you won’t encounter any surprises.
Q: Can a mobile notary notarize a document for a family member or someone they know?
A: A notary is prohibited from notarizing a document for their spouse, or if they are a party to or have a direct financial or beneficial interest in the transaction. However, they can notarize for an acquaintance or a colleague, provided they follow all legal procedures for identity verification.
Q: What should I do if I have a complaint about a mobile notary’s conduct?
A: We hold our notary partners to the highest standards of professionalism and customer service. All are fully licensed, bonded and insured. In the rare event that you experience an issue or believe our notary has committed misconduct, please let us know. You can reach us at 925-924-0229 or info@FirstClassSigning.com so we can address your concerns.
If you’d like to take it a step further, you can also file a formal complaint directly with the North Carolina Secretary of State. They are the government office in charge of commissioning and regulating all notaries in the state, and they have the authority to investigate and take disciplinary action.
