What is the relationship between a RON's commission and the notary public's commission?

The correct understanding of the relationship between a Remote Online Notary's (RON) commission and a notary public's commission is that a RON's commission typically expires on the same date as the notary public's commission. This means that when a notary public obtains their commission, which is often valid for a specified term, the authorization to perform remote online notarizations is bound to that same timeframe. Both commissions are connected in such a way that the RON can only operate for the duration of the notary public's commission, hence they share the same expiration date.

This relationship ensures that notaries wishing to provide services online remain compliant with regulations governing notarial acts, including remote notarizations. It streamlines the administrative process for notaries, as they do not have to keep track of separate expiration dates for their traditional and online notary services.
