Can RON Signers Be in Different States or Countries?

Can signers be in different locations for Remote Online Notarization?

Yes. With Remote Online Notarization (RON), signers may participate from different physical locations.

For example, one signer could be in Florida while another signer is in another state or even another country. Each signer participates through the approved live audio-video platform and must successfully complete the applicable identity-verification requirements.

For a Florida Remote Online Notarization, the Florida Online Notary must be physically located in Florida when performing the notarization, but the signer does not have to be physically located in Florida. Online Sunshine

When a signer is outside Florida, Florida law also requires confirmation that the signer wants the notarial act performed by a Florida Notary Public under Florida law. Online Sunshine

Additional requirements may apply depending on the document, the signer's location, witness requirements, and whether the receiving party will accept Remote Online Notarization.
