5 reasons government agencies and councils are adopting digital signatures.
New feature: Signing completion certificate.
Iowa officially moved into the future of document authentication with the passage of Senate File 475, granting permanent legal status to Remote Online Notarization (RON) as of July 1, 2020.
In Iowa, RON isn’t just a convenience; it’s a secure, state-sanctioned method that allows Iowans to handle everything from real estate closings to legal affidavits without ever needing to step foot in a notary’s office.
The Iowa Secretary of State has set clear guidelines to ensure that online notarizations are just as reliable—if not more so—than traditional in-person acts. The process relies on secure audio-video technology to bridge the gap between the notary and the signer.
Notary Location: The notary public must be physically located within the state of Iowa at the time of the notarial act.
Signer Location: The signer can be located anywhere (even outside the U.S.), provided the notary can successfully verify their identity.
Identity Verification: Iowa law requires a multi-factor authentication process, including:
Credential Analysis: Automated verification of a government-issued photo ID.
Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA): A series of security questions that only the true signer would know.
Digital Records: All RON sessions must be recorded (audio and video) and stored by the notary for 10 years.
Under the Iowa Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), electronic signatures and records carry the same legal weight as traditional paper and “wet ink” signatures. This means that documents signed through a secure platform are fully enforceable, provided that both parties have agreed to conduct the transaction electronically and the document can be stored and retrieved for future reference.
Important Note: While RON is legal for most documents, always verify with the receiving agency (such as a specific county recorder or financial institution) that they are equipped to accept electronically notarized records.
The transition to digital notarization offers significant benefits for both Iowa businesses and individuals:
Speed: No more waiting for mail or driving across town. Get your documents finalized in minutes.
Fraud Protection: Digital certificates “tamper-seal” the document. If a single word is changed after the notary signs, the digital seal is broken, and the document is instantly flagged as invalid.
Accessibility: RON is a vital tool for those in rural Iowa or those with mobility challenges, ensuring professional notary services are accessible to everyone.
