Remote Online Notarization (RON)

  • Remote Online Notarization (RON) is a process that allows individuals to notarize documents online, using audio-visual technology instead of traditional in-person methods. It enables signers to appear before a notary public via a secure video conference to verify their identity and electronically sign documents.

  • While Remote Online Notarization (RON) is legally recognized, it's important to verify acceptance with the relevant parties before proceeding. We recommend consulting with the requesting party or entity to confirm their acceptance of electronically notarized documents. Ultimately, it is the signer's responsibility to ensure acceptance by the relevant parties.

  • During a Remote Online Notarization (RON) session, the signer connects with a certified remote online notary via a secure video conference platform. The notary verifies the signer's identity using government-issued identification and witnesses the signing of the documents electronically. Once the notarization is complete, the documents receive a digital notarial seal.

  • Yes, Remote Online Notarization (RON) is secure when conducted using encrypted video conferencing platforms and secure digital notary platforms.

Apostille Services

  • An apostille is a certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, academic diplomas, and business documents, for use in foreign countries that are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention. It verifies the authenticity of the signature, seal, or stamp on the document, ensuring its validity and legal recognition abroad.

  • You may need an apostille for various documents, including personal and business-related ones, when presenting official documents in a foreign country. Apostilles are commonly required for purposes such as immigration, marriage, adoption, employment, academic enrollment, and more.

    For businesses, apostilles are often necessary for documents such as articles of incorporation, certificates of good standing, powers of attorney, contracts, and other legal documents used in international transactions or operations. It's essential to obtain an apostille to ensure that your documents are recognized as valid and legally binding in the destination country, simplifying the authentication process and facilitating international business activities.

  • The apostille process involves verifying the authenticity of the document and obtaining the apostille certificate from the designated authority in the issuing country. Once affixed, the apostille certifies the document's authenticity and validity for international use. The specific steps and requirements vary depending on the type of document and the country of issuance.

  • Yes, we can assist with the legalization of documents for countries that are not members of the Hague Apostille Convention. This process may involve additional steps, such as embassy or consulate legalization, and we will guide you through the necessary procedures.
