Remote online notarization (RON) uses video conference with licensed notary to witness signatures and affix electronic seals. RON is legally valid in most US states. RON enables truly remote closings without travel. Technology requirements are minimal (video conference, ID).
Pro Tip
RON varies by state; verify your state allows remote notarization before relying on it.
Example
Buyer's mortgage note is notarized via RON using video conference with notary instead of in-person visit
