Spanning the state, our experienced and licensed notaries public are fully trained and authorized to do everything that a traditional notary can do. However, they make the entire notarization process far more efficient and effective by meeting you where you live and work.

Comparing Mobile and Remote Online Notaries

Because one provides services in-person and the other works in the digital space, mobile and remote online notaries both come with their own unique sets of benefits. Depending on your specific wants and needs, you can employ either or both to make life and work quite a bit easier for all kinds of people.

Why Hire a Mobile Notary?

The mobile notary allows organizations and individuals to notarize documents on site wherever they happen to be. From law offices to hospital rooms, many different locations are ideal for mobile notarization. Mobile notaries can travel to anyplace within their state of jurisdiction to verify and authenticate documents on demand. This allows individuals and organizations to overcome challenges, streamline operations, and potentially save both money and time.

Why Hire a Remote Online Notary?

Remote online notarization (RON) takes the ease and convenience of remote notarization to the next level using digital technology. Employing distance communication such as videoconferencing as well as technology such as digital signatures and stamps, RON allows people to legally verify and authenticate documents entirely online. Gone are the days when people needed to meet with one another in the same room to complete notarization processes and procedures. Today, RON allows people on opposite sides of the globe to come together with a licensed notary online.

The Professional Abilities and Limitations of Mobile and Remote Online Notaries

Mobile and remote online notaries must hold the same licenses and credentials as other notaries in the state. They can also perform the same essential duties as any other notary. But it is important to note what, exactly, notaries can and cannot do. While they commonly work with legal documents and both authenticate and verify a wide range of documents as legally binding, notaries public are not attorneys and cannot be relied upon for legal advice.

A: Under the guidelines of the State of Texas, mobile and remote online notaries may perform both paper and electronic document verification using means that may include the “use of audio-video conference technology that complies with the requirements of Texas statutes and administrative rules.” They are also required to meet the standard state $10,000, 4-year term bond requirement and keep an up-to-date record of notarization transactions either on paper or digitally.

To clarify, mobile notaries in Texas can’t notarize birth certificates, marriage licenses, death certificates or divorce decrees. You’ll need to obtain certified copies from the issuing government agency. If you need a copy of these, ordering online through the Texas Vital Records portal is usually the quickest way.

A: Good question! Mobile notaries and those doing Remote Online Notarization (RON) can handle a wide variety of documents such as, but not limited to:

  • Affidavits
  • Power of attorney forms
  • Contracts
  • Mortgages and loan documents
  • Lease agreements
  • Loan agreements
  • Promissory notes
  • Bills of sale
  • Mortgage and refinancing transactions
  • Certifying copies of documents that are not recordable in the public records
  • Deeds, wills and trusts
  • Adoption papers
  • Documents for visa applications such as a Letter of Invitation or an Affidavit of Support

A: In most cases, when you use a mobile notary, you’ll simply need to provide your own valid, government-issued identification like a driver’s license or passport. The mobile notary will verify your identity using this ID, and then move forward with the notarization. Now, if for some reason you don’t have the necessary ID, then a credible witness becomes a must.

A: To give you peace of mind, every notary we work with at First Class Signing Service is licensed, bonded and insured. We’ve got a really extensive network, too, with more than 50,000 qualified signing agents across the entire U.S. With over half a million signings under our belt, you can count on us.

A: Great question! Yes, documents notarized remotely (using RON) by a commissioned Texas notary public are legally valid. This means most banks, courts, title companies and government agencies should accept them without an issue. Still, we always recommend a quick check-in with the receiving party. It’s good practice to confirm any specific needs they might have.

A: No, Texas law does not provide a grace period for an expired ID. Therefore, a Texas notary public cannot accept an expired ID as valid proof of identity. Texas has pretty strict rules when it comes to ID requirements. According to the Secretary of State, the identification presented must be current and issued by a federal or state government. Valid IDs include a current driver’s license, state ID card, U.S. passport or other government-issued photo identification that is not expired. The purpose is to ensure the notary can reliably verify the signer’s identity at the time of notarization.

If a signer does not have a current, valid ID, two credible witnesses who can vouch for the signer’s identity will be accepted. However, these two witnesses themselves must have valid, unexpired identification.

A: Yes, First Class Signing Service guarantees the protection of your privacy and your data security. We are using reputable RON platforms that strictly comply with privacy and data protection standards under Texas law.
