Remote Online Notarization (RON) for Title Companies 

How RON Can Streamline Eligible Real Estate Closings 

Traditional real estate closings can require careful coordination between multiple parties, including title companies, lenders, signing agents, borrowers, sellers, and other professionals. When an in-person signing is required, scheduling can become more challenging when signers are traveling, located outside the local area, or have limited availability.

Remote Online Notarization (RON) may provide an alternative for eligible transactions when permitted by applicable law and accepted by the parties involved. Instead of coordinating an in-person meeting solely for the notarization, eligible signers can complete the notarization process remotely using a secure online platform.

For title companies and lending professionals, this added flexibility can make certain transactions easier to coordinate while giving eligible signers another option for completing their closing documents.

How RON Can Support a More Flexible Closing Process 

For eligible transactions, Remote Online Notarization can give title companies and lending professionals another way to coordinate the notarization portion of a closing. The ability to complete the notarization remotely may be especially useful when traditional in-person scheduling creates logistical challenges. 

Key Benefits for Real Estate Professionals 

1. Scheduling Flexibility
RON may make it easier to coordinate eligible signers who are located outside the local area or have limited availability for an in-person appointment.

2. Reduced Travel Requirements
Eligible signers may be able to complete the notarization remotely without traveling to a physical signing location.

3. Convenient Signer Experience
A remote appointment can provide added convenience for signers while maintaining the required identity-verification and notarization process.

4. Professional Coordination
Working with a signing service can provide title companies and lenders with a centralized point of contact for coordinating eligible RON assignments.

How RON Can Support Title & Loan Closings

Benefits of RON for Real Estate Professionals

Remote Online Notarization (RON) can provide title companies, lenders, and other real estate professionals with a flexible option for eligible transactions. When remote notarization is permitted and appropriate, RON allows the notarization process to be completed through a secure online platform without requiring the signer and notary to meet in person. 

Three Ways RON Can Support the Closing Process 

1. Greater Scheduling Flexibility
RON may make it easier to coordinate eligible signers who are traveling, located outside the local area, or unable to attend a traditional in-person appointment.

2. Remote Identity Verification & Notarization
Eligible RON appointments use a structured online process that may include identity verification, electronic signatures, electronic notarization, and a recorded session, depending on the platform and applicable requirements.

3. Reduced Logistical Challenges
For eligible transactions, completing the notarization remotely may reduce the need to coordinate travel, physical meeting locations, and other logistics associated with an in-person appointment.

RON Legality & Compliance in Tennessee 

Understanding When Remote Notarization May Be Used 

Remote Online Notarization is permitted in Tennessee under applicable state law, but not every document or transaction is automatically eligible for remote notarization. Title companies, lenders, attorneys, and other transaction professionals should confirm that RON is permitted for the specific transaction and accepted by the parties involved before scheduling a remote closing.

When an eligible RON assignment is requested, Elevated Notary Services coordinates the appointment through an appropriate remote notarization platform and follows the applicable identity-verification, electronic-notarization, and assignment requirements.

What Professional Partners Should Consider 

1. Transaction Eligibility
Confirm that the documents and transaction are eligible for remote notarization and that the title company, lender, attorney, or other responsible party approves the RON process.

2. Signer Requirements
Signers must be able to complete the required identity-verification process and meet the technical requirements of the selected RON platform.

3. Document & Platform Requirements
Electronic documents, signatures, notarization procedures, and recordkeeping must follow the requirements applicable to the transaction, platform, and notary.

4. Assignment-Specific Instructions
Title companies and lenders may have their own RON procedures, approval requirements, or platform preferences. ENS follows the requirements provided for each assignment.
