Online Notarization in Missouri with Secured Signing

Remote Online Notarization (RON) provides a highly convenient option for notarizing documents quickly and efficiently. Unlike traditional notarization methods, such as walk-in or mobile notaries, RON allows you to connect with a state-commissioned notary online, no matter where you are.

Missouri’s Adoption of Remote Online Notarization

Missouri has recently embraced RON legislation, a move that gained significant traction during the COVID-19 pandemic, enabling notaries and their clients to conduct business safely. House Bill 1655, signed into law by Governor Mike Parson on July 6, 2020, marked a significant milestone in the state’s notary laws. After three years of negotiations involving legislators and trade associations like the Missouri Land Title Association, the bill was initially set to take effect on July 1, 2021. 

However, in response to the pandemic, the effective date was moved up to August 28, 2020. This law now provides approximately 72,000 notaries in Missouri with the opportunity to perform notarizations remotely, according to the National Notary Association (NNA).

Missouri residents and businesses can now notarize their documents online, in addition to using traditional in-person options like walk-in or mobile notaries. To take advantage of remote online notarization in Missouri, you’ll need to use a state-approved RON platform, such as Secured Signing.
