When you require certain documents to be notarized, such as a will or a mortgage, you might wonder whether it’s better to use remote online notarization or a mobile notary. Even though they are both more convenient than going to a brick-and-mortar notary, there are some key differences between the two services. Notarized, Inc., offers both remote online notarization (RON) and mobile notary services to give you the flexibility to choose what works best for you. Continue reading to learn more about the differences between RON and a mobile notary and schedule an appointment with us today.
What Is a Remote Notary?
A remote notary is a notary public who uses audio-visual technology over the internet to perform notarizations for people who are not physically present in the same room. The documents in need of notarization are shared electronically, and the notarization and signing process occurs face-to-face in a virtual environment. Also known as remote online notarization (RON), this type of service is becoming increasingly popular because it offers a high level of convenience and security. At Notarized Inc., we take great pride in our remote notary service and have implemented several safeguards to ensure that the process is secure, including signer identification verification, compliance with state law requirements, and encrypted file transfers. If you are interested in discovering the benefits of remote notarization, contact us to learn more about our RON services today!
What Is a Mobile Notary?
A mobile notary, or travel notary, is a notary public who travels to the location of the person or persons needing documents notarized, such as their home, office, or place of business. Mobile notaries are ideal for professional firms that require their customers’ signatures on a variety of legal documents but don’t want the hassle or expense of having their employees and clients travel to a notary. Our mobile notaries at Notarized Inc. serve all industries across the United States, including but not limited to: mortgage lenders, real estate companies, title and escrow companies, insurance brokers, and auto dealers. When you work with a mobile notary from our team, you can rest assured that your personal information and financial details will never be compromised and our process will flow smoothly and quickly.
The Main Difference Between a Mobile Notary and Remote Notary
The main difference between a mobile notary and a remote notary is the location of the signer at the time of notarization. With remote notarization, the signer is physically present in front of the notary via audio-visual technology, whereas with mobile notarization, the signer and notary are in the same room.
Additionally, remote online notarization is slightly more convenient because you can do it from anywhere, whereas with mobile notarization you have to be in the same general vicinity as the notary.
Which One Should You Choose?
The type of notarization service you choose depends on your specific needs and preferences. If you need your documents notarized quickly and conveniently, remote online notarization is probably the best option for you. On the other hand, if you prefer to work with a notary in person or need to have multiple documents notarized at once, mobile notarization might be a better fit.
At Notarized Inc., we offer both remote online notarization (RON) and mobile notary services so that you can choose what works best for you. Whether you’re a busy professional who needs to notarize documents on the go or you prefer the convenience of RON, we can help. Schedule an appointment with us today and one of our professional notaries will be more than happy to assist you.
