Remote and Mobile Notarization: A Game-Changer for Freelancers and Entrepreneurs
The way we work has transformed dramatically in recent years. Freelancers and entrepreneurs now make up a significant portion of the workforce, building businesses and careers outside the traditional office environment. With this freedom comes new challenges, including handling legal documents, contracts, and agreements that require notarization. Fortunately, the rise of Remote Online Notarization (RON) and the continued growth of mobile notary services have made the process faster, easier, and more secure than ever before.
What Is Remote Online Notarization (RON)?
Remote Online Notarization (RON) allows documents to be notarized entirely online. Using secure platforms, a signer connects with a commissioned notary through video conferencing, verifies their identity digitally, and electronically signs documents. Once notarized, the document is immediately available for download.
For freelancers and entrepreneurs who are constantly on the go, RON removes the need to physically meet with a notary, saving valuable time and simplifying the process.
What Is a Mobile Notary?
A mobile notary offers the same professional service as a traditional notary but comes directly to your location. Whether you’re meeting clients in a coworking space, working late from home, or even traveling, a mobile notary meets you where you are.
This flexibility makes mobile notaries a popular choice for entrepreneurs managing multiple responsibilities who don’t have the time to schedule office appointments.
