Frequently asked questions

Yes. Ohio authorizes Remote Online Notarization (RON) under ORC § 147.60–147.67. An Ohio-commissioned notary can notarize eligible documents for any signer physically located in Ohio via a live audio-video session. Not every document is eligible — eligibility depends on the document type and whether your receiving institution accepts RON.

Yes. Ohio law requires the signer to be physically located in Ohio at the time of a Remote Online Notarization session. The notary does not need to be in the same location as you, but you must be in Ohio when the session takes place.

Some documents require wet ink signatures regardless of Ohio's RON authorization. I-9 employment verification forms cannot be notarized remotely under federal law. Wills may require wet ink depending on your Ohio probate court. Many financial institutions and healthcare providers still require in-person notarization for certain documents. We confirm requirements before booking.

Remote online notarization (RON) allows an Ohio notary public to notarize your document during a secure live audio-visual session. You and the notary are not in the same physical location. Ohio law permits RON when applicable requirements are met.

Visit our Online Notary Ohio page or contact us with your document type. Booking reserves your time slot and charges nothing. Email us the completed, unsigned document — we review it, confirm the appointment, then send your payment link and your secure remote session link by email.

No. You request an appointment time, we review your document before confirming, and you receive your session link for the scheduled remote session. This is not automated instant notarization.

We can explain notarization options for a document you already have but cannot advise which legal form fits your situation. Consult your receiving agency, program instructions, or an attorney for legal questions.

Schools, the BMV, courts, and lenders may require steps beyond notarization — specific witnesses, filing deadlines, or in-person submission. Notarization confirms your signature; it does not guarantee the agency will accept the full package.

A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID — driver's license, state ID, passport, or military ID. The ID must match the name on the document being notarized. For online sessions, your ID is scanned and verified during the secure video session. For in-person appointments, present your physical ID to the notary at signing.

You need a valid government issued ID, the document being notarized, and any required witnesses if your document requires them. For online notarization, you will also need a device with internet access, camera, microphone, and email access.

Valid government-issued photo identification is required. Identity verification is completed during your secure online session according to Ohio RON requirements.

Bring current government-issued photo ID to your appointment. The name on your ID should match the name on the document being notarized.

Generally, no — notarization requires current valid identification. If you have an unusual situation, request an appointment before your appointment to discuss options.
