Remote Online Notarization in Arizona: What You Need to Know
Need to notarize an important document but can't make it to a notary's office? Remote Online Notarization (RON) allows eligible documents to be notarized securely over the internet, saving you time and eliminating the need for an in-person appointment.
Arizona has authorized Remote Online Notarization since 2020, making it easier for individuals and businesses to complete notarizations electronically. At Golden Bridge Signings, we provide secure and convenient Remote Online Notary services, helping clients complete notarizations from virtually anywhere using a secure online platform.
What Is Remote Online Notarization?
Remote Online Notarization is the process of notarizing documents through a secure audio-video conference instead of meeting face-to-face. During the appointment, the signer verifies their identity, signs the document electronically, and the notary completes the notarization using an electronic signature and official electronic seal.
The process is designed to provide the same legal confidence as an in-person notarization while offering greater convenience and accessibility.
Is Remote Online Notarization Legal in Arizona?
Yes. Arizona law authorizes commissioned online notaries to perform Remote Online Notarizations using approved communication technology and identity verification procedures. When completed in accordance with Arizona law, an online notarization has the same legal effect as a traditional in-person notarization.
An Arizona Remote Online Notary must be physically located in Arizona while performing the notarization. However, the signer may be located in Arizona, another U.S. state, or, in certain circumstances, outside the United States, provided all applicable legal requirements are met.
Documents notarized through a valid Arizona Remote Online Notarization are generally recognized under Arizona law. However, individual agencies, courts, lenders, title companies, and other organizations may have their own requirements regarding the documents they accept.
How Does the Online Notarization Process Work?
Getting your documents notarized online is simple:
Schedule your Remote Online Notary appointment.
Securely upload your documents before the meeting.
Complete the required identity verification process, which may include credential analysis of your government-issued photo ID and knowledge-based authentication, when required.
Meet with the notary through a secure live audio-video session.
Electronically sign your documents.
The notary applies their electronic signature and official electronic seal.
Receive your completed notarized documents electronically.
Many online notarization appointments are completed in approximately 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the number of documents and the identity verification process.
