Remote online notarization is not an informal video chat

Effective 2026-01-01. Notaries who notarize for signers who are not physically present.

Before

A well-meaning notary might assume any video call plus a photo of ID is enough.

Authorized RON requires registered technology, identity proofing, and electronic records that meet Arizona requirements.

If you are not registered and equipped for RON, require in-person appearance. Do not improvise.
