Remote Online Notarization (RON) in New York
Remote Online Notarization (RON) allows New York State residents to notarize documents online through a secure audio-video platform. At Net Notary NY, we offer RON services using OneNotary, a state-approved platform that ensures compliance with all NYS e-notary laws.
What You Can Notarize
Not all documents can be notarized online in New York, but the following are commonly accepted:
- Power of Attorney forms
- Parental consent forms
- Affidavits and sworn statements
- Real estate disclosures (not closings or mortgage docs)
- Business contracts and verification letters
- Apostille-ready documents
We cannot notarize wills, codicils, or mortgage loan documents (which often require an attorney or closing agent in NY).
Requirements to Use RON in NY
To complete a RON session, you will need:
- A valid government-issued photo ID
- A computer or mobile device with camera and microphone
- A stable internet connection
- To pass identity verification via KBA and credential analysis
The entire session is recorded and securely stored in accordance with NYS requirements.
How the Process Works
- Start your session: Click the “Start Notarization” button on our site to launch the OneNotary flow.
- Upload your document: You’ll be guided to upload the PDF you need notarized.
- Verify your identity: Answer knowledge-based authentication questions and scan your ID.

- Download your document: Your notarized PDF will be emailed to you right after the session.
