Florida RON Guide for Title Companies and Law Firms

The real estate and legal industries are embracing a digital transformation, and Remote Online Notarization (RON) is at the heart of it. As clients expect faster, more convenient transactions, RON has become a game-changer for title companies and law firms across Florida.

With secure platforms like Pactima, trusted partners like Blue Ink Signing Solutions are making digital closings simpler, safer, and more efficient than ever.

1. What Is Remote Online Notarization (RON)?

Remote Online Notarization allows notaries and signers to complete notarizations entirely online through asecure, state-approved platformlike Pactima. During the live video session, the notary verifies the signer’s identity, witnesses signatures, and applies a digital seal all without anyone needing to meet in person.

For busy title offices and law firms, RON eliminates scheduling conflicts, speeds up document execution, and delivers a seamless client experience from start to finish.


2. Florida’s Legal Framework for RON

Florida was one of the first states to authorize online notarization through F.S. Chapter 117, setting clear standards for compliance and security.
To conduct RON legally in Florida, a notary must:

  • Be commissioned and registered as an Online Notary Public.

  • Use a state-approved RON platform (such as Pactima).

  • Verify identity throughgovernment-issued ID and knowledge-based authentication (KBA).

  • Record the audio-visual session and maintain digital records for at least ten years.

By partnering with Blue Ink Signing Solutions, you gain access to RON-certified notaries who meet all these state requirements ensuring your closings stay compliant, consistent, and stress-free.
