How do I complete the venue for a RON Notary certificate?

By NNA Staff on January 5, 2021

When I perform a remote online notarization for out-of-state signers, would I enter their state and county where the signer is location, or where I am located? — P.V., Minnesota

You must be referring to completing the venue portion of the certificate for the remote online notarial act. You always will enter state and county where you are located when you performed the remote online notarization.

Hotline answers are based on the laws in the state where the question originated and may not reflect the laws of other states. If in doubt, always refer to your own state statutes. – The Editors

I was wanting to know could I hold a digital certificate and digital seal for online and a regular seal and certificate to do loan signings outside?

Hello. Notary seals and digital certificates are available for purchase through the NNA. However, please be aware that in order to purchase a seal you must have an active Notary commission in your state, and to use a digital certificate for RON you will need authorization from your state to perform remote online notarizations. You can find out more about RON requirements here: www.nationalnotary.org/remote-online-notary
