Before you use an online notary
Because this state has a limited, delayed, or non-RON status, review the state-specific details and official source before choosing a provider. An out-of-state remote notarization may be accepted in some situations, but acceptance depends on the applicable law and the document recipient.

October 1, 2026 law change
Act 2026-536 / SB 292 takes effect October 1, 2026. It adds stronger identity checks, requires the remotely located signer to be in the United States, requires notice that the session is recorded, and requires refusal if the technology is insecure or the signer's image appears artificially generated. The law still requires documents used during the video session to be provided to the notary for authentication and original signature.
