How RON Works

Meet, verify, sign — all online

You send us your documents. We meet over Blue Notary's secure platform. You complete a quick biometric identity verification, then we meet by video and use electronic signatures and an electronic notary stamp. When we're done, you get an instant PDF download.

Perfect for

  • General notary work
  • Real estate & loan documents
  • Personal documents
  • Real estate closings
  • International notarizations
  • Signing in all 50 states

Witnesses can be provided for a fee. It's the fastest option when you're short on time, out of state, or simply prefer to sign from home.

How online pricing works: $25 Blue Notary platform fee, $25 for the first signature, and $15 for each additional signature. Your first 15 minutes are free, then $30 per 15 minutes. Witnesses, if we provide them, are $15 each. Additional fees may apply depending on your documents, and we'll always walk you through them first.

Legal & Secure

Valid in all 50 states — and often more secure than in person

Remote online notarization has been legal in Oregon since August 1, 2020 (ORS §194.277), and a RON notarization carries the same legal weight as an in-person one. In many ways it's more secure: your identity is confirmed with multi-factor verification and a photo-ID scan, the session is recorded, and every step is captured in a tamper-evident audit trail that a paper notarization doesn't have. Because it's performed by a commissioned Oregon notary, your notarized document is recognized across all 50 states.

What you can — and can't — notarize online

Can be notarized online: most general documents, powers of attorney, affidavits and sworn statements, real estate and loan documents (when your lender or title company accepts RON), and business records. Cannot: Last Wills and Testaments are excluded by Oregon law and must be signed in person with in-person witnesses. When in doubt, confirm the receiving party accepts electronically notarized documents before you book — most banks, courts, and agencies do. Want the full breakdown? Read our complete RON guide.

Common Questions

Online notary FAQ

Is remote online notarization legal in Oregon?

Yes. ORS 194.277 (effective August 1, 2020) authorizes Oregon notaries to perform remote online notarizations, and RON documents have the same legal effect as in-person notarizations.

Will my bank, court, or agency accept a remotely notarized document?

Most do — just confirm first by asking whether they accept electronically notarized documents. Oregon agencies and courts generally accept RON.

Can I notarize a will remotely?

No. Oregon law explicitly prohibits RON for Last Wills and Testaments — those must be signed in person with in-person witnesses.

How long does an online notary session take?

About 10-15 minutes for most documents; complex or multi-signature documents may take 20-30 minutes, and real estate closings 30-45 minutes.

What if I don't have a computer?

A smartphone or tablet with a camera works — most platforms have mobile apps, though a larger screen is more comfortable.

Do I need to be alone during the session?

Yes — you must be alone so the notary can verify your identity and confirm you're signing freely, without anyone off-camera pressuring you.
