Remote online notarization is the single biggest change to notary law in a century, and Nevada adopted it properly: a live, recorded audio-video session with a commissioned Nevada notary, layered identity verification, and a digital seal that most banks, title companies, and agencies now accept.
What RON actually is
You upload your document, verify your identity through an ID scan plus a knowledge-based quiz, then join a live video session with the notary. You sign electronically on camera; the notary applies an electronic seal and digital certificate; the session recording is retained under Nevada's rules. You get the completed, tamper-evident document back the same day — usually within the hour.
It is not "sign a PDF and email it." A RON notarization has more identity verification than most in-person notarizations, which is exactly why states allowed it.
When RON is the right tool
- You're out of state or overseas with Nevada paperwork that can't wait for the mail
- You need a notarization tonight and a physical visit doesn't make sense
- The signer is mobility-limited but comfortable on a video call
- Multiple signers are in different cities and one document needs everyone
- You simply don't want a stranger in your living room — fair enough
When RON is the wrong tool
We'd rather lose a booking than have your document bounce. RON is the wrong choice when the receiving party requires wet ink (some county recorders, some lenders, many foreign consulates), when the document is a will or estate instrument that your attorney wants executed in person, or when the signer can't manage the technology under time pressure. In each of those cases, an in-person mobile visit is the honest recommendation, and we'll make it.
Pricing and turnaround
Nevada caps the RON notarial act at $25 per act. Platform and session fees are itemized separately and quoted before you book — total cost for a typical single-document RON session is usually less than a mobile visit, because nobody's driving anywhere. Most sessions are completed same-day, and rush sessions can often start within the hour during business hours.
