Florida Remote Online Notarization, commonly called RON, allows an authorized Florida online notary and a signer to meet through secure, real-time audio-video technology.
But convenience doesn't eliminate identity verification. Depending on the legally compliant identity-proofing method used, the process may include:
- Government-issued identification
- Credential analysis to evaluate the ID
- Identity proofing, such as Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA)
- Live two-way audio-video communication
- Electronic signatures and a notarial certificate
- Secure electronic records and session recording
What is KBA?
Knowledge-Based Authentication uses questions generated from public or proprietary data associated with the signer. Under Florida's statutory minimum KBA standards, the signer is presented with at least 5 questions, must answer at least 80% correctly and has a 2-minute time limit.
The result?
Convenience + Identity Verification + Document Security
RON can be especially helpful for busy professionals, traveling clients and people who need documents notarized without coordinating an in-person appointment.
