This is not the same as a Remote Online Notarization. A Remote Online Notarization is completely conducted online. You will not need to physically visit your commissioned online notary public but meet using two-way audio-video communication.

Uploaded documents will be electronically signed online with remote notaries. The online notary will then add their notary seal electronically that is backed by a digital certificate. The remote online notary process gives you a more convenient way of getting your document notarized. Schedule an appointment, validate your identity, meet in an audio-video conference and e-sign your document(s). Your notarized document will be back to you before you know.
