Remote Online Notarization (RON) allows Florida residents to notarize documents entirely online using secure technology. Instead of meeting a notary in person, the entire process—from identity verification to signing—happens digitally through a live video session.
At Mobile Notaries of SWFL, we help Florida residents across Southwest Florida understand exactly how RON works and when it’s the right option for their situation.
What RON Means for Florida Residents
RON (Remote Online Notarization) is:
Fully legal in Florida
Conducted through secure audio-video technology
Completed in real time
Backed by strict identity verification and recording requirements
This ensures your notarization is both valid and secure.
Who Can Use RON in Florida?
RON is available to:
Florida residents anywhere in the state
Residents traveling out of state
Snowbirds and seasonal residents
Individuals located internationally
The only requirement is that the notary must be physically located in Florida during the session.

You apply your digital signature, and the notary completes the notarization with an electronic seal.

The entire session is recorded and securely stored, as required by Florida law.
