What must be done to ensure identity proofing during remote online notarization?

To ensure effective identity proofing during remote online notarization, capturing high-quality images for identity proofing is crucial. High-quality images allow notaries to clearly see and assess various features on identification documents, such as photographs, names, and identification numbers, which are essential for confirming the identity of the signer. Proper image quality enhances the accuracy of the verification process and reduces the likelihood of fraud.

Moreover, high-resolution images help ensure that all the necessary details are discernible, complying with the standards required by many jurisdictions for remote notarization. Through clear visual confirmation, notaries can reliably establish that the person signing the document matches the identification presented.

In contrast, lesser-quality images or processes lacking verification do not meet the standards for effective identity proofing, which can lead to potential issues in identifying clients accurately during the notarization process. This emphasizes the importance of using high-resolution images in the RON process.
