Remote notarization is a process that allows individuals to have documents notarized without being physically present in the same location as the notary. This is typically done using video conferencing technology, enabling the notary to verify the identity of the signer and witness the signing of documents in real-time. To use remote notarization, both the signer and the notary must have access to a computer or mobile device with a camera and internet connection. Many states in the United States have enacted laws to support remote notarization, making it a convenient option for people who cannot meet in person.
