How does online notary work in Arizona?
If you plan to use a remote online notary in Arizona, you will be required to appear before the notary public virtually using a state-approved RON platform, such as PandaDoc Notary, via a two-way audio-visual connection.
All signers are required to be present at the time the document is to be signed. This means that all signing parties will need access to a computer with a secure internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone to appear before the notary in real time.
Prior to applying their signatures to the document, all signers are required to verify their identity before the notary. Depending on you can be achieved using several different methods, including the following.
- The notary personally knows the signer and can confirm their identity.
- Presenting a government-issued ID.
- Using knowledge-based authentication (KBA) to verify the signer’s identity.
Once the identities have been verified, the document is eSigned. The online notary will then apply their own digital seal and signature. This digital seal contains encrypted, tamper-proof information that confirms the notary’s commission and ensures the document will be accepted as legally valid.
Once a document has been notarized online, Arizona RON law requires that the electronic journal and recording must be kept securely stored and accessible for a minimum of 5 years from the date the transaction was carried out.
