Yes, online notarization (Remote Online Notarization or RON) is legal in California, thanks to SB 696, effective January 1, 2024, allowing for the recognition of out-of-state RONs and phased implementation for CA notaries, with full functionality expected by 2030 (or sooner) once the Secretary of State’s tech project is complete, enabling Californians to get documents notarized online using audio-video, with requirements for secure platforms and recordings.
Key Points for California Online Notarization:
Understanding Our Services :
California residents can take advantage of these services with a variety of notary options available for different needs, such as #MobileNotaryPublic, #24HourNotary, and more.
- Out-of-State Notaries: California already recognizes properly executed RONs from other states, making them valid for CA documents like real estate transactions.
- California Notaries (Phased Rollout):
- January 1, 2024: Laws regarding out-of-state RON recognition took effect.
- Future (by Jan 1, 2030): California notaries will be able to perform RON themselves using approved platforms, but this requires the Secretary of State’s technology project (NAP 2.0) to be finished.
- California Notaries (Phased Rollout):
- Requirements for RON: You need an unsigned document, a device with audio/video capabilities, a valid government-issued ID, and a U.S. Social Security Number for identity verification.
- Security & Recording: The process involves secure, approved online platforms and requires an audio-video recording and electronic journal for each notarization.
In short, you can get documents notarized online in California now, often through out-of-state notaries, while the system for California-commissioned notaries to offer full RON services is being built out.
