Can I Use a Remote Online Notary From Another State?
In many cases, yes.
You do not necessarily have to be physically located in the same state as your online notary.
For example, you may be located in one U.S. state while completing your notarization with a notary commissioned in another state.
Golden Bridge Signings makes it possible for eligible clients to complete their notarization remotely without having to search for and travel to a local notary.
Can I Complete a RON Appointment From Outside the United States?

If you're currently outside the United States, you may still be able to complete a Remote Online Notarization with a qualified U.S.-commissioned online notary.
Golden Bridge Signings can serve eligible international signers located in countries such as:
Canada
Mexico
United Kingdom
France
Germany
Philippines
Vietnam
And other countries
You do not necessarily need to be in the same country as the notary. The notary must meet the location and authorization requirements of the state where they are commissioned.
Need the Document for Use Outside the United States?
If your notarized document will be submitted to a foreign government, court, business, school, bank, or other organization outside the United States, the receiving organization may require an apostille, authentication, or legalization in addition to the notarization.
Golden Bridge Signings provides the Remote Online Notarization. Any additional document authentication requirements depend on where and how the document will be used.
