In a recent press release, ALTA cited Virginia\u2019s Champion Title company, whose survey of home buyers found:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>97% of respondents who closed remotely on their Virginia homes consider RON a trustworthy process.<\/li><li>95% would suggest remote closings to other people.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Virginia, an early adopter, has had RON for a decade. The state paved the way for other states to follow. The Mortgage Bankers Association and the American Land Title Association have lent their heft to the trend, constructing model legislation for states to use or adapt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>State laws already address electronic signings, notarizations, and document recordings. RON adheres to these rules, and enhances them. What features ensure that the customer is using a safe method? The person who signs the document has to present multiple forms of identification \u2014 and these are vetted. Copies of identification and AV recordings are digitally stored as proof for seven years or the time required by state law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While a range of AV software can be used to witness signings, using a dedicated RON platform is the safe way to go. By creating and securely storing a digital history of everything that happens to the recorded instrument, dedicated RON platforms make document execution<em> more<\/em> resistant to fraud and fakes than the traditional, in-person method. The notary prepares the RON certificate with software that detects and signals any changes to the files, to avert&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/category\/deed-fraud\/\">deed fraud<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an additional safeguard, a state can require upfront notifications that notaries will be working with documents from a distance. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dos.pa.gov\/OtherServices\/Notaries\/E-Notary\/Pages\/Electronic%20Notarization.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pennsylvania<\/a> states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>[B]efore the notary public performs any notarial act with respect to an electronic record or notarizes a record for a remotely located customer who is appearing before the notary by means of communication technology, the notary must notify the Department of State that the notary public will be doing so.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">States Create Guidance for Remote Online Notaries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to ALTA, RON is popular in Florida, Texas, and throughout the Midwest as well as Virginia. And a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nass.org\/initiatives\/remote-electronic-notarization\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">majority of states<\/a> have enacted RON statutes. The state statutes lay out the terms by which notaries may use audio-visual technology to notarize and record \u2014 sometimes interstate, or even internationally, depending on the state. Under a number of states\u2019 laws, such as New Mexico\u2019s RON statute, the states <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sos.state.nm.us\/notary-and-apostille\/notary-commissions\/remote-online-notarization-faqs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">provide regular courses and tests<\/a> so notaries maintain proficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac&nbsp;have also issued guidance for notaries. They have urged notaries to require government-issued proof of identity with the person\u2019s signature and photo, and multi-factor sign-in technology. They have further guided notaries to use electronic journals, with all audio-visual evidence protected by secure backups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which leads us straight into the possibility of a federal law enabling RON. It\u2019s time, say ALTA and key players in the&nbsp;mortgage industry. The&nbsp;National Association of REALTORS\u00ae agrees. And&nbsp;American Council of Life Insurers CEO Susan Neely says it \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cramer.senate.gov\/news\/press-releases\/sens-cramer-warner-lead-bipartisan-legislation-to-allow-remote-online-notarizations-nationwide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">makes sense to embrace remote online notarization<\/a> as a permanent innovation.\u201d The Credit Union National Association (CUNA) also finds RON safe \u2014 and necessary. These groups believe it would be sound public policy to have a uniform set of standards, including rules for witnesses. And we can expect to see safeguards such as multifactor authentication and fraud-resistant features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If passed, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/senate-bill\/1625\/related-bills\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a bipartisan bill<\/a> will authorize RON\u2019s \u201cimmediate nationwide use\u201d across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Digital Closings Making Real Estate More Accessible and Inclusive\u2014and Safe.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital closings promote accessibility. This means more customers who wouldn\u2019t have been able to close in person now can. These customers can overcome transportation challenges, disability and health obstacles, or the need to juggle employment and childcare schedules while attempting to buy in a competitive market. In a time of virtual learning, buyers\u2019 and sellers\u2019 childcare needs have been especially pressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some buyers cannot easily leave their workplaces, yet they could easily handle a digital closing on a break in the workday. Because it involves digital documents which are signed electronically, RON also allows for a simpler experience than having stacks of paperwork and having to physically go through them, and sign them all with pens and ink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some buyers need to buy from out of state or out of the country. RON irons out these wrinkles and helps everyone have practical access to the closing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\u261b<\/em><\/strong><strong><em> Buying U.S.&nbsp;real estate from outside the United States?

Your agent or mortgage specialist can go over your state\u2019s guidelines with you. RON in some jurisdictions can only be done with a lawyer\u2019s oversight. The signer and notary have to be in the same state in other jurisdictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In any case, when you\u2019re buying a home, title companies and notaries are required to know and adhere to the RON laws of their states. Underwriters and banks will have their own rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you feel strongly opposed to RON, know that even in RON states, in-person notarization is not dead! It\u2019s available, and it\u2019s still the standard with many mortgage lenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Supporting References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">American Land Title Association: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alta.org\/media\/pdf\/ron\/remote-online-notarization-checklist.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Checklist for Conforming Laws Related to Remote Online Notarization (\u201cRON\u201d)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>ALTA Blog<\/em> (American Land Title Association): <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.alta.org\/2021\/08\/consumers-call-remote-online-notarization-process-safe-secure.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Consumers Call Remote Online Notarization Process Safe, Secure<\/a> (Aug. 5, 2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>ALTA Blog<\/em> (American Land Title Association): <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.alta.org\/2020\/03\/gses-issue-new-guidance-on-ron-powers-of-attorney.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GSEs Issue New Guidance on RON, Powers of Attorney<\/a> (Mar. 31, 2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Credit Union National Association: <a href=\"https:\/\/news.cuna.org\/articles\/119906-cuna-backs-commonsense-safe-banking-act-remote-notary-amendments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CUNA Backs \u201cCommonsense\u201d SAFE Banking Act, Remote Notary Amendments<\/a> (Sep. 22, 2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Tim Glaze for <em>HousingWire.com<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.housingwire.com\/articles\/senators-reintroduce-bill-to-allow-remote-online-notarizations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Senators Reintroduce Bill to Allow Remote Online Notarizations<\/a> (May 17, 2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">National Association of Secretaries of State: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nass.org\/initiatives\/remote-electronic-notarization\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Remote Electronic Notarization<\/a> (updated Sep. 22, 2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Pennsylvania Department of State: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dos.pa.gov\/OtherServices\/Notaries\/E-Notary\/Pages\/Electronic%20Notarization.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Electronic\/Remote Notarization<\/a> (updated Nov. 4, 2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Deeds.com:<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/notaries-go-remote-a-digital-shift-is-changing-notary-language\/\">Notaries Go Remote: A Digital Shift Is Changing Notary Language<\/a> (Apr. 14, 2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Deeds.com:<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/deeds-by-distance-which-states-are-moving-to-remote-notarization\/\">Deeds by Distance: Which States Are Moving to Remote Notarization?<\/a> (Oct. 5, 2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Deeds.com:<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/remote-notarization-of-real-estate-deeds\/\">Remote Notarization of Real Estate Deeds<\/a> (Mar. 27, 2019).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Photo credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/RgPQNvoIcdg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Helena Lopes<\/a>, via Unsplash, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/man-in-black-suit-jacket-using-macbook-5520325\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pavel Danilyuk<\/a>, via Pexels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are Federal RON Standards Coming?
