Millions of Documents Are Now Signed Online: Why Remote Notarization Is the Future

Remote Online Notarization

Over the past few years, Remote Online Notarization (RON) has gone from a novel concept to a standard practice across the United States. In fact, millions of documents are now notarized online every year, saving time, reducing errors, and increasing accessibility for individuals and businesses alike.

As digital transformation continues to reshape how we handle paperwork, notaries are now key players in helping the U.S. move toward faster, safer, and more efficient document transactions.

 


How Many Documents Are Signed Online in the U.S.?

According to industry reports, over 2 million notarizations were completed online in 2022 alone—and that number continues to rise rapidly each year.

Remote notarization is now legally authorized in more than 40 states, and accepted nationwide for many types of documents, including:

  • Real estate closings

  • Powers of attorney

  • Affidavits

  • Loan documents

  • Business agreements

  • Healthcare directives

The volume of remote signings has grown exponentially, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of remote tools.


 

Why This Matters

Traditional notarizations often involve:

  • Driving to a notary office

  • Printing and scanning paperwork

  • Scheduling in-person meetings

  • Wasting time waiting in lines

RON changes everything.
