Remote Online Notarization (RON)
Professional Notary Service—Available Online
Nest Notary provides secure and convenient Remote Online Notarization services, allowing you to complete eligible notarizations virtually from the comfort of your home, office, or another convenient location.
Using a secure online platform, you can meet with a commissioned Texas online notary through live audio-video technology, verify your identity, electronically sign your documents, and complete the notarization without traveling to an in-person appointment.
What Is Remote Online Notarization?
Remote Online Notarization, commonly known as RON, is a legally authorized process that allows a commissioned online notary to notarize electronic documents through a secure audio-video platform.
Instead of meeting with the notary in person, the signer appears remotely, completes an identity-verification process, electronically signs the document, and watches as the notary completes the electronic notarization.
The notarization follows applicable Texas requirements while offering greater flexibility for clients who need fast, professional service from virtually anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is Remote Online Notarization legal in Texas?
Yes. Texas permits commissioned online notaries to perform eligible electronic notarizations using approved technology and required identity-verification procedures.
Do I have to be located in Texas?
The online notary must be physically located in Texas when performing the notarization. The signer may generally be located elsewhere, provided the transaction meets applicable requirements and the document may legally be notarized online.
What do I need for my RON appointment?
You will generally need:
-
An acceptable government-issued photo ID
-
A computer, tablet, or compatible device
-
A working camera and microphone
-
A reliable internet connection
-
Access to email
-
The unsigned electronic document
Additional identity-verification requirements may apply.
Can I use my phone?
Some platforms support mobile devices, but a computer or tablet may provide a smoother experience. Your device must have a working camera, microphone, reliable internet connection, and access to the required platform.
Can every document be notarized online?
No. Eligibility may depend on the document, transaction, receiving agency, destination, and applicable law. Certain organizations may require an original wet-ink signature or an in-person notarization.
Will the receiving organization accept an online notarization?
Acceptance varies. You should confirm with the organization, agency, court, title company, or other recipient before scheduling your appointment.
Can documents intended for use outside the United States be notarized online?
Possibly, but international acceptance varies significantly. Confirm that the receiving country or authority will accept an electronically signed and remotely notarized document before proceeding.
Can an online notarized document receive an apostille?
Eligibility depends on the document, the electronic notarization, and the requirements of the destination country and issuing authority. Contact Nest Notary before proceeding so the general document requirements can be reviewed.
Can multiple people sign during the same session?
Multiple signers may be accommodated when permitted by the platform and document requirements. Each signer must personally appear, verify their identity, and complete the required steps.
What if the signers are in different locations?
Remote Online Notarization may allow signers in separate locations to participate, provided each signer can access the platform and complete identity verification. Depending on the document, separate sessions may be necessary.
How long does an online notarization take?
Many straightforward appointments can be completed relatively quickly. The total time depends on the number of documents, signers, notarizations, and any technical or identity-verification requirements.
Are same-day appointments available?
Same-day and expedited online appointments may be available based on scheduling. Contact Nest Notary as early as possible for urgent requests.
Do you offer evening or weekend appointments?
Evening, weekend, and after-hours appointments may be available by request. Additional service fees may apply.
