Status of Online Notary in Virginia
The main aim to legalize RON those days was to halt “Robo-signings” in Virginia. The state was concerned with the incline of notarization frauds. For that very reason, they wanted to;
- Raise the security of notarial acts
- Decline chances of fraud
- Improve convenience concerning notarial acts, especially for disabled patients.
After legalization in 2011, commissioned notaries started remote online notarization when the law came into action in 2012. With the legalization of Remote online Notarization, Virginia controlled frauds; leveled up security and convenience for both signers and notaries.
The legalization gave new meaning to the mandatory notarization requirement, i.e., “personal appearance.” The new law clearly explained to the notaries how to carry out notarization, verify the signer’s identity, use e-Signatures e-Seal, and maintain Electronic journals.
Long before the other states realized the importance of Remote Online notarization during Covid-pandemic, Virginia was quite familiar with RON. Notaries were well-aware of the process of Remote Online Notarization, and so were the signers. Therefore, notarization activities were smoothly running in Virginia
even during the pandemic.
