The legislation would allow the use of Remote Online and Electronic Notarization (RON), providing the opportunity to close real estate transactions remotely. This would be a tremendous relief during these difficult times, and the form takes less than a minute to complete.

The Securing and Enabling Commerce Using Remote and Electronic Notarization Act of 2020 (SECURE Notarization Act), introduced by Senators Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and Mark Warner (D-VA), takes a two-prong approach to continue and expand access to remote online notary (RON). First, it permits immediate nationwide use of RON, with minimum standards, yet maintains the vital role attorneys play in the transaction. Second, it provides certainty for the interstate recognition of RON. The SECURE Notarization Act builds on ongoing efforts of lawmakers to promote remote transaction options for consumers.
