I check online my commission and it shows that I am active for RON as well as for ecteronic closing, But when i am trying to register they are asking certification for RON. how to get the certificate? Thanks
Hey, check what your state requires. In Florida, we need to apply, take a 2-hour course, and already be a Notary Public. You’ll also need a digital certificate (I used Identrust, but there are others), and an e-notary stamp. Plus, our state requires a separate bond and E&O insurance.

How to become RON notary in New Jersey (according to NNA)
In order to provide remote Notary services, you’ll need a computer, webcam, microphone and secure internet connection. You’ll need to contract with a RON provider that meets state requirements. The NJ State Treasurer does not endorse any third-party vendors, but the following meet state requirements: BlueNotary, Clear Sign, Cyberize It, DocVerify, Pavaso and SIGNiX.
You’ll also need to buy your digital Notary supplies, which include your electronic seal, electronic journal and digital certificate containing your electronic signature. Keep in mind these items must be compatible with your chosen RON vendor.
Thankyou!
I am RON and doing some closing for some closings for one company. But some companies are asking for certificate and that’s where not sure where i should get the certificate. Thanks for your time.
Who approved you to be a RON? Should be the secretary of state in which state you live in.
@prati_78: Perhaps the certificate you’re referring to is the digital certificate. There are several providers. I got mine through Identrust and use only with Amrock/Rocket Close for hybrids and IPENs.
The platforms are asking for your digital certificate. You can get your certificate through IdenTrust. You will also need to make sure you have a copy of you RON commission from your state that is usually a separate commission from the regular commission. Your E&O insurance will need to be increased to $100,000 and you need a separate electronic journal. All RON platforms that I have done my work on keep a journal in their vaults for at least 5 years so you can have access in case you need your information.
Thankyou!
I do the same for same company.
Are these the only platforms approved in NJ? BlueNotary, Clear Sign, Cyberize It, DocVerify, Pavaso and SIGNiX. I’m new to RON as well and just learning the rules.
Check your state’s notary authority. I was just copying and pasting NJ rules.
