Remote Online Notary (RON) is a relatively new concept that allows notaries to perform notarial acts remotely using audio-video technology. This process enables the notary to confirm the identity of the signer and witness the signing of a document through the use of video conferencing technology, even if the signer and notary are in different locations.


Leading the Way in International and U.S. Online Notarization and Apostille Services with Unparalleled Excellence


We take pride in our enduring presence at the forefront of the industry since our inception in 2022. Evolving from our humble beginnings, we introduced our remote online notary and apostille services in January 2022, swiftly becoming the preferred choice for esteemed clients, including title and escrow companies, Hawaii law firms, and local residents. With an unwavering dedication to confidentiality and professionalism, we've established the industry's gold standard.


Mastering Technology for Enhanced Security and Efficiency


Unleashing the Potential of Advanced RON Technology Paired with Rigorous Identity Verification Systems, We Guarantee Secure and Efficient Notarizations. Our Processes Not Only Adhere to Hawaii's Stringent Regulations but Also Establish New Industry Standards.


One of the key components of RON is the use of technology to ensure the security and integrity of the notarization process. This includes using a secure video conferencing platform and implementing strict security protocols, such as multi-factor authentication, to confirm the identity of the signer. Additionally, many RON platforms also use electronic signature and document management software to ensure that the document being signed is the correct one.


Another important aspect of RON is the use of electronic notary journals and records. These electronic journals and records are used to track the details of each notarial act, including the date and time of the notarization, the identity of the signer, and the document that was notarized. This helps to ensure that the notarization process is transparent and tamper-proof, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of the notarization.


Our team of expert notaries use the most advanced technology and security protocols to ensure the integrity of each notarization. Additionally, we stay up to date with state laws and regulations to ensure that our RON services are fully compliant and legally valid. Trust World Class Notary for all your RON needs and experience the convenience and peace of mind that comes with it.

The Remote Online Notary Process


The process of RON starts with the signer contacting a remote notary and scheduling an appointment. During the appointment, the notary will use video conferencing technology to connect with the signer. The notary will then confirm the signer's identity through a government-issued ID or other means and witness the signing of the document.


The Benefits of Online Notarizations


One of the main benefits of RON is that it allows for the continuation of vital notary services while also reducing the need for in-person contact. Additionally, the benefit of being able to get your documents notarized from the comfort of your own home or office, using your phone or computer. This truly is the future!


Another benefit of RON is that it can save time and money. Signers no longer have to travel to a physical location to get documents notarized, which can save them time and money on transportation. Additionally, RON can also save businesses money by reducing the need to pay for an in-person notary to travel to their location.


Legal Validity


In terms of legal validity, RON is 100% legal and is currently regulated by state laws and regulations. Most states will accept documents that were notarized by a notary in another state. In addition, businesses and organizations are also utilizing Remote Online Notary to facilitate the signing of important documents, such as legal contracts, deeds, and powers of attorney. This can be a valuable tool for businesses that need to conduct transactions quickly and efficiently, without the need for in-person meetings.

  • What defines a notarial act, and is there specific wording required for the notary on my document?

    A notarial act refers to the official procedure or duty authorized for execution by a notary public. Typically, documents presented for notarization include a designated section known as the notary block, which contains the appropriate language indicating the type of notarial act required. At World Class Notary, Fingerprinting, and Apostille Services, we can modify your notary block to align with the correct Hawaii state-specific format.


    The primary notarial acts performed by an online notary include:


    • Oaths: A sworn declaration or promise regarding the truthfulness of statements in a document.
    • Acknowledgements: An official recognition by the signer that they understand the contents and intent of a document and have signed it willingly.

    If you present a document for notarization without the specific notarial language, our online notary will inquire about the type of notarial act you wish to have executed. While our online notary cannot make that decision on your behalf if you're uncertain about the type of act required, we can certainly assist you in exploring your options.


    It's crucial to note that incorrect notarizations are a leading cause for the rejection of Hawaii apostilles. If your intent is to get a document notarized for an apostille, we highly recommend checking out our blog on the topic to ensure you're well-informed.

  • Is there a formal record kept for each online notary session?

    Certainly. Each remote online notary (RON) session is thoroughly documented through an audio-video recording, and these recordings are preserved for a period of ten years. Furthermore, our notaries maintain a detailed notary journal that chronicles all remote online notary transactions, enhancing transparency and record-keeping.

  • Is it necessary to furnish my social security number during the online notarization procedure?

    Certainly! Here's the rephrased paragraph:


    No, you won't be asked to provide your social security number during our online notarization process. In fact, we don't request it and have no means of accessing it.


    World Class Notary, Fingerprinting, and Apostille Services stands out as a leader in international online notarizations, and our offerings in this domain are unparalleled.

  • What types of documents can I notarize using Remote Online Notarization (RON)?

    Most documents that qualify for traditional, in-person notarization are also eligible for online notarization.

To guarantee the legal validity of notarization for these particular documents, the notary must have specialized training.

  • Are the online notary services provided by World Class Notary, Fingerprinting, and Apostille Services accepted by my title company for real estate closing documents?

    Before committing to any online notary solution, it’s essential to consult with your title company.

It's essential to verify with the document recipient whether they accept electronically signed and notarized papers before proceeding.


    As a potential alternative, we can generate a certified true copy of the electronically notarized document.

We strictly adhere to privacy laws and best practices to maintain the confidentiality of your data.

    It's important to note that a social security number and credit history are not required for a foreign national to verify their identity.

  • How can I ensure that the online notary I will be working with is qualified and well-trained?

    Every online notary at World Class Notary, Fingerprinting, and Apostille Services undergoes thorough vetting, extensive training, and exclusively works with us. We prioritize quality over quantity and take pride in our notaries' ability to handle even the most intricate documents.

  • Does the notarization of a document in Hawaii hold recognition in other states?

    Certainly! Thanks to the principle of reciprocity, a document notarized by a Hawaii notary is generally accepted in all other U.S. states and territories. This cross-state recognition is rooted in the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which mandates that states honor the "public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state."


    However, it's crucial to understand that while the notarization itself is recognized, the purpose or use of the document may be subject to the specific laws and regulations of the receiving state. Therefore, it's advisable to verify with the intended recipient or the relevant authority in the other state to ensure your notarized document complies with all necessary criteria.


    Should you have any concerns regarding the acceptance of your Hawaii-notarized document in another state, feel free to contact us for guidance.
