What to Expect From a VirtualClose Transaction
The signer contacts their escrow officer to request a Remote Online Notarization (RON) if they’d like to complete their transaction remotely.
The signer’s closing documents are sent to the Remote Online Notarization provider to prepare for signing.
The signer’s identity is verified in compliance with the requirements of the notary’s commissioning state to ensure a secure transaction. This may include:
Questions based on signer’s personal and credit history (Knowledge- Based Authentication, or KBA), online verification of signer’s identification documents (Credential Analysis), and notary’s remote viewing of the signer’s ID during the notarization via webcam or other Remote Online Notarization identification methods required by statute.
During the Remote Online Notarization, the notary and signer communicate via audio-visual technology (for example, via webcam and microphone or telephone), capturing both full audio and visual recording of the transaction. The notary and signer do not need to meet in person. For more information on technical requirements, click here.
After the signer’s identity has been verified and all other requirements have been completed, the signers and notary must sign the documents with the notary’s seal affixed. Electronic documents require e-signatures and an electronic version of the notary’s seal provided through the Remote Online Notarization platform.
The notary journal records any required information within the Remote Online Notarization platform.
