What is Remote Online Notarisation?

Remote Online Notarisation (RON) allows a notary public to perform notarial acts — such as certifying documents, witnessing signatures or administering oaths — via a secure audio-visual link rather than requiring you to attend in person.

The notary verifies your identity through the video call, witnesses your signature electronically, and applies their digital seal and signature to the document. The resulting notarial certificate carries the same legal weight as a traditional in-person notarisation, and is accepted by courts, embassies and government agencies in many jurisdictions.

Remote notarisation is particularly valuable for clients who are overseas, based in remote areas, or who have time-sensitive documents that cannot wait for an in-person appointment.

What documents can be notarised remotely?

Remote notarisation is suitable for a wide range of document types, subject to the notary's assessment of each matter.

Power of Attorney

General and specific powers of attorney for use overseas or in cross-border transactions.

Statutory Declarations

Sworn statements of fact required by government agencies, embassies or courts.

Affidavits

Written sworn statements used in legal proceedings in the UK and internationally.

Company Documents

Board resolutions, articles of association, director certificates and corporate authorisations.

Personal Identification

Certified copies of passports, birth certificates and identity documents.

Property Documents

Deeds, title documents and related instruments for international property transactions.

Who can use remote notarisation?

Remote notarisation is available to individuals and businesses worldwide, including:

  • UK nationals residing overseas who need UK documents notarised
  • International clients who need documents for use in the UK or a third country
  • Businesses with cross-border transactions requiring notarised authorisations
  • Individuals who cannot travel due to health, distance or time constraints
  • Anyone requiring urgent notarisation outside normal office hours

Important note: Not all notarial acts can be performed remotely. Suitability depends on the destination country, the type of document and the specific legal requirement. The notary will assess your matter before confirming whether remote notarisation is appropriate. If in-person attendance is required, we can connect you with a notary near you.
