The right format for your documents

Convenience begins with knowing your options.

Not every electronic signing is a remote notarization. Texas distinguishes between a notarization completed over approved live audio-video technology and one performed electronically while the signer and notary are together in person.

Some transactions also combine digital signatures with traditional wet-ink documents. We'll review the requested format, logistical details, and receiving-party instructions before discussing an appointment.

Frequently asked questions

Confidence starts with clarity.

The right format is not always the most high-tech one. We'll help you identify questions to resolve before scheduling.

Ask Us a Question ↗
Are RON and IPEN the same thing?

No. Texas remote online notarization uses compliant audio-video technology, while in-person electronic notarization requires the signer and notary to be physically together.

Can I complete a Texas RON appointment from another state?

Texas law permits a Texas online notary physically located in Texas to notarize for a signer located elsewhere when applicable requirements are satisfied. Acceptance by the recipient and any other relevant laws should be confirmed.

Does hybrid mean every document is electronic?

No. A hybrid transaction can combine paper and electronic signing components. The format and eligibility of each notarized document must be determined separately.

Will my lender or receiving agency accept an electronic notarization?

Not necessarily. Confirm the required format and acceptance rules with the receiving agency, lender, title company, or attorney before scheduling.

Can you advise me which certificate or legal document I need?

No. A non-attorney Texas notary cannot provide legal advice or choose a notarial certificate for you. Your attorney or document preparer can guide those decisions.
