Pennsylvania online notary service
Remote online notarization may allow an eligible signer to complete a notarization through an approved online platform using live audio-video communication. It can help Pennsylvania residents, rural signers, travel-bound signers, and busy professionals when the document and receiving party allow RON.
Eligible documents and acceptance
Not every document can or should be notarized online, and not every receiving party accepts remote online notarization. Before scheduling, confirm the receiving party, recorder, lender, agency, attorney, or title company accepts RON for your specific document.
ID requirements and session overview
- Signer identity verification may include credential analysis, identity proofing, knowledge-based authentication when applicable, and audio-video communication through an approved remote notarization platform.
- The signer needs a reliable device, camera, microphone, internet connection, and acceptable identification.
- The signer must be willing, aware, and able to communicate directly during the session.
- The document must be suitable for the platform and receiving party requirements.
Mobile vs online notary
Mobile notary service may be better when original wet-ink signatures are required, when a signer needs an in-person appointment, or when the receiving party does not accept RON. Online notarization may be useful when the document is eligible and the recipient accepts a remotely notarized document.
Remote online notary services do not include legal advice, document drafting, choosing forms, selecting a notarial act, or guaranteeing acceptance by a receiving party.
