Current Nevada Law: Subject to Verification
Whether a particular document can use remote online notarization (RON) depends on state law, the notary's authority, title and lender requirements, recording acceptance, and the document type. RON is not the same as an ordinary video call. Always confirm acceptance with the professionals handling the actual transaction and verify current requirements before relying on any remote notarization.
What Happens During RON?
A compliant process may involve:
- Identity verification
- Audiovisual communication
- Electronic signatures
- Electronic notarial certificate
- Record retention
The precise requirements depend on applicable law and platform.
Does This Mean Every Closing Can Be Fully Online?
No.
Even where electronic notarization is legally available:
- The lender may require another method
- Recording requirements may matter
- Investor rules may matter
- The title company may have specific procedures
Why Buyers and Sellers Like It
RON can be useful for travel, remote relocation, out-of-state sellers, and busy professionals.
Fraud and Identity
A legitimate RON process uses identity and security procedures.
