Online Notarization in Virginia with Secured Signing

When you need to notarize crucial documents quickly, Remote Online Notarization (RON) offers a secure and convenient alternative to traditional in-person notary services, which can often be time-consuming and costly. But is RON legal in Virginia?

The answer is yes! On March 26th, 2011, the governor signed House Bill 2318 / Senate Bill 827, permanently authorizing notaries public commissioned in the state to remotely notarize electronic documents as of July 1, 2012.

How Does Online Notarization Work in Virginia?

Using RON in Virginia is straightforward and secure. To access the benefits of remote online notarization, you only need a stable internet connection and a computer with audio-visual conferencing capabilities. Secured Signing’s platform provides a seamless experience for all users, ensuring that your documents are notarized with ease.

Although similar to traditional notarization, RON has a few additional requirements to protect against fraud:

1. Identity Verification: Before notarization begins, all signers must undergo credential analysis and knowledge-based authentication (KBA) to confirm their identities.
2. Secure Video Conference: After identity verification, signers meet with a state-commissioned notary via a secure, two-way audio-visual connection.
3. Document Review: Each signer will have the opportunity to review the document one last time before applying their electronic signature (eSignature).
4. Notary Action: Once the eSignatures have been added, the online notary will apply their eSignature and digital seal to the document, while also logging the event in their electronic journal.
