Virginia Notaries: Go Digital, Stay Secure with Secured Signing’s Online Notarization!
Virginia notaries! Did you know our Commonwealth was actually one of the very first states to embrace Remote Online Notarization (RON) back in 2012? That’s right, we’ve been leading the way in digital notarization for a while now! This means you can offer your clients unparalleled convenience and efficiency when it comes to notarizing important documents.
Gone are the days of strictly in-person meetings. With Online Notarizations, you can extend your services and meet the growing demand for secure, remote notarial acts. And the best part? It’s surprisingly straightforward and incredibly secure!
How Online Notarization Works in Virginia (The Secured Signing Way!)
Using Online Notarization in Virginia is straightforward and secure, especially with a platform designed for seamlessness like Secured Signing. To access the benefits of remote online notarization, you and your clients only need a stable internet connection and a computer with audio-visual conferencing capabilities. Secured Signing’s platform provides a seamless experience for all users, ensuring that your documents are notarized with ease.
While similar to traditional notarization, RON in Virginia includes a few crucial additional requirements designed specifically to protect against fraud and ensure the integrity of the notarial act:
- Robust Identity Verification: Before notarization begins, all signers must undergo rigorous credential analysis (verifying their government-issued ID) and knowledge-based authentication (KBA). KBA involves asking a series of personal questions only the signer should know, adding a powerful layer of identity confirmation.
- Secure Video Conference: After successful identity verification, signers meet with you, their state-commissioned Virginia notary, via a secure, two-way audio-visual connection. This live interaction allows you to witness the signing in real-time.
- Document Review & eSignature: Each signer will have the opportunity to review the document one last time before applying their electronic signature (eSignature).
- Notary Action & Secure Sealing: Once the eSignatures have been added, you, the online notary, will apply your eSignature and digital seal to the document. Virginia law also requires you to maintain an electronic journal for RON acts and create an audio-visual recording of the session, both of which Secured Signing helps you manage compliantly.
Fun Fact! Did you know that Virginia is home to eight U.S. presidents? That’s more than any other state! Just like our presidential legacy, your digital notarizations will now leave a strong, secure mark!
