Can RON be used for witnessing documents?

The use of Remote Online Notarization (RON) to witness documents hinges on the specific state regulations in place. Many states that allow RON have provisions that also permit it to be used for witnessing documents, provided that all legal requirements are satisfied, including proper identification and consent from the parties involved. This ensures the integrity of the witnessing process while leveraging technology for efficiency and accessibility.

While RON is commonly associated with the notarization of documents, its application can extend to witnessing if state legislation permits it. This means that, depending on where you are located, RON may effectively serve a dual purpose, addressing both notarization and witnessing when the appropriate conditions are met.
