What Is Remote Online Notarization?
Remote Online Notarization (RON) is the process of notarizing electronic documents using secure technology that allows the signer and notary to communicate in real time through a live audio-video connection.
As a commissioned Florida Online Notary Public, Melissa Battle Saunders, Owner of Notarizing Tampa™, is authorized under Florida law to perform Remote Online Notarizations for eligible signers, regardless of where the signer is physically located, provided all legal requirements are satisfied. RON offers a convenient solution for individuals, businesses, law firms, healthcare providers, and professionals who need secure document notarization without the need for travel.
Why Choose Remote Online Notarization?
Remote Online Notarization offers many advantages, including:
- Complete your notarization from virtually anywhere in the world
- No travel or office visit required
- Flexible appointment availability
- Secure identity verification
- Legally recognized under Florida law
- Tamper-evident electronic documents

What You’ll Need
Before your Remote Online Notarization appointment, please have:
- A valid government-issued photo identification
- A computer, tablet, or smartphone equipped with a working camera and microphone
- A reliable internet connection
- Your electronic document(s) ready for notarization
- An active email address to receive completed documents
To comply with Florida law and help protect against fraud and identity theft, clients may be required to successfully complete multiple identity verification measures before the notarization. Depending on the platform and transaction, this may include credential analysis, Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA), biometric identity verification, and other advanced security protocols designed to confirm the identity of the signer.
Security & Identity Verification
Every Remote Online Notarization completed through Notarizing Tampa™ is conducted using a secure, state-approved platform that complies with Florida’s Remote Online Notarization laws and recognized industry security standards. Depending on the platform and transaction, security measures may include:
- Government-issued ID credential analysis
- Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA)
- Biometric identity verification
- Multi-factor authentication
- Secure electronic signatures
- Tamper-evident electronic documents
- Encrypted document transmission
- Audio-video recording of the notarization session as required by Florida law
These safeguards help verify the identity of each signer, reduce the risk of fraud, protect sensitive information, and preserve the integrity of the notarization process.
Important Client Responsibility
Before scheduling a Remote Online Notarization appointment, it is the client’s responsibility to verify that:
- The document is legally eligible to be notarized electronically.
- The receiving agency, lender, title company, attorney, court, employer, financial institution, government agency, foreign country, or other requesting party will accept a remotely notarized electronic document.
- Any additional requirements have been confirmed before the appointment.
Although Remote Online Notarization is authorized under Florida law, acceptance of electronically notarized documents is determined solely by the receiving party. Acceptance policies may vary by agency, institution, lender, court, employer, state, or country.
Notarizing Tampa™ cannot determine whether your document qualifies for Remote Online Notarization, interpret legal requirements, or guarantee that a receiving party will accept an electronically notarized document.
If you are uncertain, we strongly encourage you to contact the receiving party before scheduling your appointment.
Documents That May Not Qualify
Certain documents, transactions, or circumstances may not qualify for Remote Online Notarization under Florida law or may be prohibited by the receiving agency or jurisdiction.
Notarizing Tampa™ reserves the right to decline any Remote Online Notarization request that does not comply with Florida law, platform requirements, identity verification standards, or applicable notarial practices.
If your document is not eligible for Remote Online Notarization, we may be able to assist you by scheduling a traditional mobile notary appointment instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Remote Online Notarization legal?
Yes. Florida law authorizes commissioned Florida Online Notaries to perform Remote Online Notarizations using approved technology and identity verification procedures.
Can I be located outside of Florida?
Yes. One of the greatest benefits of Florida Remote Online Notarization is that you may be physically located anywhere in the world during your appointment, provided all Florida legal requirements and identity verification standards are successfully met.
The commissioned Florida Online Notary Public must be physically located within the State of Florida at the time of the notarization; however, the signer may be located in another state or another country.
If you are located outside of the United States, additional legal requirements may apply under Florida law. It is also your responsibility to confirm that the receiving agency, organization, or country will accept a remotely notarized electronic document before scheduling your appointment.
Does every document qualify for Remote Online Notarization?
No. Eligibility depends on Florida law, the type of document, the specific transaction, and whether the receiving party accepts electronically notarized documents.
Will my lender, court, employer, or government agency accept my electronically notarized document?
Acceptance requirements vary. It is the client’s responsibility to confirm acceptance with the receiving party before scheduling an appointment.
Is my information secure?
Yes. Notarizing Tampa™ uses secure Remote Online Notarization platforms that incorporate identity verification, encrypted document transmission, electronic signatures, tamper-evident technology, biometric verification where applicable, and audio-video recording as required by Florida law.
Does the notary have to be located in Florida?
Yes. Florida law requires the commissioned Online Notary Public to be physically located within the State of Florida at the time the Remote Online Notarization is performed.
Can I use my smartphone for a Remote Online Notarization?
Yes. Most Remote Online Notarization platforms are compatible with smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers equipped with a camera, microphone, and reliable internet connection.
How long does a Remote Online Notarization appointment take?
Most appointments take approximately 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of documents, the completion of identity verification requirements, and the signer’s preparedness.
What happens if I don’t pass identity verification?
Florida law requires identity verification before an Online Notary may perform a Remote Online Notarization. If identity verification cannot be successfully completed, the notarization cannot proceed. You may be able to schedule a traditional in-person mobile notary appointment instead.
