If you haven’t yet enjoyed the ease of notarization services coming directly to you, First Class Signing Services (FCSS) can guide you through all aspects of these time-saving — and often cost-saving — mobile notary and remote online notarization services.
What Is Mobile Notarization?
Mobile notaries differ from traditional notaries in one important aspect: they come directly to you.
While some large companies and firms might have a notary in-house, other organizations of all sizes and in all sectors were previously required to send a representative to a notary’s office to facilitate notarization functions. The process of signing notarized documents was not just time-consuming but extremely difficult for individuals who are ill-equipped to travel.
The advent of the mobile notary solved all these problems and more. Beyond their ability to come directly to your home, workplace, or another convenient location, mobile notaries must hold valid notary licensure through the state government and adhere to all guidelines and standards.
What Is a Remote Online Notarization (RON)?
The requirements of state licensure also apply to the remote online notary. Remote online notarization (RON) takes the convenience of mobile notarization to the next level by eliminating the need to meet face-to-face. Because it takes place entirely in the digital realm, RON makes doing business, conducting transactions, and establishing legal agreements easier than ever before.
Even people on opposite sides of the world can come together through RON to buy and sell property, validate last wills and testaments, conduct financial transactions, and perform any number of other activities that require document notarization. Just as secure and officially binding as any other form of notarization, RON employs tools such as digital signatures and video conferencing to conduct instantaneous document notarization over the internet.
FCSS Wisconsin: Providing Premier Mobile and Remote Online Notaries
Operating out of central hubs in Brandon and Madison, First Class Signing Services provides RON and mobile notarization services across the state of Wisconsin. Like all Wisconsin notaries, FCSS mobile and remote online notaries must be at least 18 years old, hold U.S. residency, have an 8th grade education or higher, and have a state criminal record that is free of convictions.
They must also possess relevant notarization education and pass a state notary exam with a score that exceeded 89%. The state government requires remote online notaries to complete additional training in RON technology. To operate as a notary in Wisconsin, licensed individuals must hold a 4-year term, $500 notary bond and maintain an accurate and up-to-date record book. Remote online notaries must keep a record of the audiovisual communications for every RON session that they perform.
