Remote Online Notary is generally a traditional notary public who has been given permission to also do notarizations remotely. You must become a traditional notary first, once approved you will then be requested to choose an online provider to perform online notarizations.
The online provider must offer a secure and safe environment to meet the signer via 2 way audiovisual technology, allow to sign documents digitally, and have created rules and regulations approved by the state to support such a platform. So there are companies and providers to help facilitate these transactions in your state through a list of approved vendors (reference your state’s requirements for becoming a RON).
There is a long list of providers and each has a set of requirements, rules, and fees.
