How to Get an Affidavit Notarized Online: Step-by-Step Guide to Remote Online Notarization (RON)

If you need to get an affidavit notarized but don’t have time to meet with a notary in person, Remote Online Notarization (RON) makes the process fast, convenient, and legally valid. With RON, you can notarize an affidavit online from your phone, tablet, or computer — without leaving home.

This guide will walk you through exactly how online affidavit notarization works, what you’ll need, and how to complete the process securely and confidently.

What Is Remote Online Notarization (RON)?

Remote Online Notarization (RON) allows a state-authorized notary to verify your identity and notarize your documents using secure audio-video technology. Instead of meeting in person, the entire notarization happens virtually.

When you notarize an affidavit online, you get:

• A recorded video session for legal proof

• Secure ID verification

• Tamper-sealed digital documents

• Fast turnaround — often within minutes

  
  

RON is legally recognized in most U.S. states and accepted by many banks, courts, and institutions.

Affidavits are time-sensitive and often required for legal, financial, or personal matters. Popular types of affidavits that can be notarized online include:

Whether you're submitting documents to a court, government agency, employer, or financial institution, online notarization helps you complete the process quickly, even if you’re traveling, busy, or unable to meet in person.

How to Notarize an Affidavit Online (Step-by-Step)

Here’s the exact process for getting your affidavit notarized online.

1. Prepare Your Affidavit

Make sure your affidavit is complete but not signed.Notaries must witness your signature during the RON session.

Tips:

• Fill in all required information

• Ensure names and dates are correct

• Save your affidavit as a PDF, if possible

  
  

2. Schedule Your Online Notary Appointment

Contact your trusted RON notary (or use a booking link if provided) and choose a convenient time. Many RON sessions can be completed on-demand or same-day.

Your notary will provide a secure online link for the notarization session.

3. Verify Your Identity

Before the session begins, you'll go through state-required identity verification:

• Upload or scan a valid government-issued ID

• Answer knowledge-based authentication questions (KBA)

• Confirm your identity through the platform

This ensures your RON affidavit is legally compliant.

4. Join the Secure Video Session

You’ll meet with a commissioned online notary through a live audio-video call.

During the session:

• The notary confirms your identity

• You sign the affidavit electronically

• The notary applies their digital seal and signature

  
  

This entire interaction is recorded and stored for legal recordkeeping.

5. Download Your Notarized RON Affidavit

Once notarized, your affidavit will be:

• Digitally signed

• Tamper-sealed

• Ready for immediate use

  
  

You can download, print, email, or upload the document wherever it needs to go.
