What is the best online notary app?
Top online notary apps (Remote Online Notarization, RON): Notarize / Proof.com (most states), NotaryCam, OneNotary, BlueNotary, and DocVerify. Pricing $25-50 per notarization. Confirm your state allows RON for your document type — some still require in-person notarization.
Remote Online Notarization (RON) lets you notarize documents via video call from anywhere. Top platforms:
Notarize / Proof.com ($25/notarization) — original RON pioneer, most states supported, real estate specialist.
NotaryCam ($25-79) — international support, mobile-friendly.
OneNotary ($25) — simple UX, fast turnaround.
BlueNotary ($25) — competitive pricing, good API.
DocVerify — used by enterprise clients.
Notary.io — Marketplace of independent notaries.
Notarize.com Pro — for businesses doing high volume.
How RON works: 1. Upload your document. 2. Verify your identity (knowledge-based questions + ID scan). 3. Video call with a commissioned notary (5-10 min). 4. Notary witnesses your signature. 5. Notary applies digital seal. 6. Download notarized PDF.
- Permanent RON laws: 40+ states including FL, TX, VA, NV, OH, IN, AZ, MI.
- Limited/specific RON: NY, CA (passed but slow rollout).
- In-person only: a few holdouts; check state notary commission.
- ✓ Real estate (deeds, mortgages) — most common.
- ✓ Powers of attorney.
- ✓ Affidavits.
- ✓ Estate documents (in many states).
- ✗ Wills (most states require in-person witnesses).
- ✗ I-9 employment verification (federal).
Cost: $25 for first signature, $5-10 per additional. Real estate closings often $100-200.
Tip: confirm the receiving party (bank, county recorder, court) accepts RON before paying — some still demand wet-ink notarization.
