Remote Online Notarization Texas services are changing the way individuals and businesses get important documents notarized. Instead of traveling to a notary’s office, you can meet with a commissioned Texas online notary through a secure, live audio-video session.
At De’More Notary and Apostille Services, we help clients complete eligible notarization conveniently and professionally, whether they’re at home, at work, or traveling.
In this guide, we’ll explain how Remote Online Notarization works in Texas, what you need to prepare, and how to get started.
How Does Remote Online Notarization Work in Texas?
Remote Online Notarization (RON) allows a commissioned Texas online notary to notarize eligible electronic documents using secure audio-video technology.
Here’s how the process generally works:
1. Schedule Your Appointment
Contact De’More Notary and Apostille Services to schedule your online notarization appointment.
2. Prepare Your Documents
Have your documents ready in an accepted electronic format. Do not sign them ahead of time unless instructed.
3. Verify Your Identity
You’ll complete the identity verification steps required for your transaction. These may include presenting an acceptable government-issued identification document and completing additional electronic identity checks.
4. Meet Your Notary Online
Join a live audio-video session with your commissioned Texas online notary. The notary will verify your identity, confirm your willingness to sign, and complete the required notarial procedures.
5. Receive Your Notarized Document
Once the notarization is completed, your electronically notarized document will be made available through the secure notarization platform.
Important: Not every document or receiving agency accepts remote online notarization. Always confirm the recipient’s requirements before scheduling.
What Do You Need for Remote Online Notarization in Texas?
Before your Remote Online Notarization appointment, it’s important to have everything prepared to help make the process smooth and efficient.
1. A Valid Form of Identification
Have a current, acceptable government-issued photo ID available, such as a driver’s license or passport. Your identification must meet the requirements of the online notarization platform and applicable Texas law.
2. A Device With a Camera and Microphone
You’ll need a compatible computer, tablet, or smartphone that supports live audio-video communication.
3. A Reliable Internet Connection
A stable internet connection is essential for completing the live notarization session without interruptions.
4. Your Document Ready for Notarization
Have the document you need notarized available electronically. Do not sign it in advance unless your notary specifically instructs you to do so.
5. A Quiet, Well-Lit Location
Choose a private area where your notary can clearly see and hear you during the appointment.
6. Access to the Secure Notarization Platform
You’ll receive instructions for joining your online notarization session and completing any required identity verification steps.
Helpful Tip: Before scheduling, confirm that the organization receiving your document accepts electronic notarization and Remote Online Notarization.
Is Remote Online Notarization Legal in Texas?
Yes! Remote Online Notarization is legal in Texas.
Texas has authorized Remote Online Notarization since July 1, 2018, allowing properly commissioned and authorized Texas online notaries to perform eligible notarizations through secure, two-way audio-video technology.
Under Texas Government Code Chapter 406, Subchapter C, an authorized online notary may perform electronic notarizations while the signer appears remotely through an approved communication process that meets applicable legal requirements.
Can You Use a Texas Online Notary From Another State?
Yes! A signer may generally be located in another U.S. state or even outside the United States, provided the notarization meets applicable Texas legal requirements. The Texas online notary must be physically located in Texas when performing the notarization.
Are Online Notarizations Accepted Everywhere?
Although Texas recognizes properly performed online notarizations, acceptance can depend on the document type, receiving organization, and applicable laws.
Before your appointment, check with the organization receiving your document to confirm that Remote Online Notarization is acceptable.
At De’More Notary and Apostille Services, we help clients understand the online notarization process and prepare for their appointments.
