Notaron Certified to Offer Remote Online Notarization in Florida
Florida's Department of State has certified Notaron as a provider of remote online notarization technology. Florida notaries can now work over live video on its platform, which is also open to title companies, lenders and law firms.
Notaron has been certified by Florida's Department of State as a provider of remote online notarization (RON) technology, a step that state law requires. As a result, notaries commissioned in Florida can carry out digital notarizations on the company's platform. The service is also open to title companies, lenders and law firms whose clients are in the state or elsewhere in the country.
How a session works
A signer joins a commissioned notary by live video, using a smartphone, a tablet or a computer. The process includes identity verification, credential analysis and audiovisual sessions that are encrypted end to end. Notaron says most transactions are finished in under 10 minutes, and that a licensed online notary can be reached at any hour without booking an appointment. The platform applies tamper-evident digital seals, generates audit trails automatically and keeps electronic records for the long term in line with the rules of each state.
Real estate and other uses
For Florida's property market, the platform supports remote closings when a buyer or seller cannot attend in person. Deeds, loan documents, seller packets and title transfers can all be handled this way. Outside real estate, the company lists powers of attorney, affidavits, parental consent forms, corporate resolutions and estate-planning papers among the documents commonly notarized. Title companies and lenders can connect remote notarization to their closing workflows through an API. Law firms can route sessions by matter, bill either the client or the matter, and export data to Clio, MyCase and PracticePanther.
Founder Adam Babish pointed out that Florida was among the first states to legalize remote online notarization and still accounts for some of the highest-volume closings in the country. He said the goal is to give Florida notaries a platform built for speed and to let title companies, lenders and law firms get documents signed without scheduling difficulties. Florida joins a list of states where Notaron is already approved: Alaska, Arizona, Delaware, Minnesota, Oregon, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin.
