As a Pennsylvania-commissioned Remote Online Notary, I'm authorized under PA law (57 Pa. C.S. § 306.1) to notarize documents for signers located anywhere — across town or across the country — as long as the notarization follows Pennsylvania's RON requirements and the receiving party (your bank, title company, court, employer, etc.) will accept it.

​

Here's the good news: every U.S. state legally recognizes a notarization that was properly performed under another state's law. That means in nearly every case, the question isn't "does my state allow RON?" — it's "does my state's RON law affect me as a signer working with an out-of-state notary?" For most people, the answer is no — you can use a Pennsylvania RON notary regardless of where you live.

​

The table below shows two things for each state: whether that state currently allows its own notaries to perform RON, and whether it recognizes notarizations performed by out-of-state notaries (like me). The second column is the one that actually determines whether I can help you.

​

Always confirm with your receiving party (lender, title company, court, agency, etc.) that they will accept an electronically signed, remotely notarized document before scheduling — some institutions have their own internal requirements regardless of state law.
