This is distinct from traditional, in-person notarizations, where the notary and the signers must be physically present in the same location. Multi-point, identity verification, including personal identification, is used to ensure the integrity of the notarial transaction.

Some documents, such as birth certificates, death certificates, and court documents often require in-person notarizations or qualified witnesses. It’s always best to check with the party that requires the notarized document to make sure that online notarizations are acceptable.
In 2011, Virginia became the first state to legalize Remote Online Notarization (RON). In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic underscored the need for further use of RON, and almost every state enacted legislation or executive orders allowing for its legal use.
Each state has its own specific set of laws and regulations that determine how RON services must be carried out. This includes stipulations that both notaries and signers will need to be aware of and prepared for. For this reason, we encourage you to confirm legality with your Secretary of State.
Yes, in many cases, based on the relevant state laws, PandaDoc Notary can provide notarizations for U.S. citizens located abroad.
The Model Electronic Notarization Act of 2017 (MENA) sets a precedent that establishes that as long as the notarial act was carried out in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction where it was committed, it can be recognized across state lines. This precedent is consistent with previous legislation that allows traditional notarial acts to be recognized across state lines as well.
