In Washington State, online notarization and Remote Online Notarization (RON) are two different processes. Online notarization refers to the electronic notarization of a document, but without the use of real-time audio and video communication. This means that the notary and the signer are not in the same virtual room at the same time. Instead, the signer would upload the document to the online notary's platform, and the notary would then review and sign the document. Online notarization is permitted in Washington State, but only for certain types of documents and with certain requirements. Remote Online Notarization (RON), on the other hand, refers to the electronic notarization of a document using real-time audio and video communication. This means that the notary and the signer are in the same virtual room, with the notary witnessing the signing of the document in real-time. RON is also permitted in Washington State, but it has additional requirements and safeguards to ensure the security and authenticity of the notarization process. Some of the requirements for RON in Washington State include: • Both the notary and the signer must be physically located in Washington State. • The notary must use a RON platform that meets certain security and identity verification standards. • The signer must present valid identification and be visible to the notary during the entire notarization process. • The notary must keep an audio-visual recording of the entire notarization process for a specified period of time. Overall, while both online notarization and RON involve the electronic notarization of a document, RON has additional requirements and safeguards to ensure the integrity and security of the notarization process.
