Remote Online Notarization (RON) Acknowledgment Language by State

For your online notarization to be valid, the notarial certificate (acknowledgment or jurat) must comply with the specific statutory wording required by the notary's commissioning state. This often includes special language stating the notarial act was performed via audio-visual communication or online notarization technology.

Always refer to the official state statute or administrative code for the current, legally mandated wording.

Key Resources for State Notary Laws

The following organizations track RON legislation and may provide or link to the official notarial wording for each state:

• National Notary Association (NNA): Often publishes updates and summaries of state RON laws.
• The State's Secretary of State or Notary Public Administrator: This is the official source for all notary laws, forms, and required language.
• Uniform Law Commission (ULC): Developed the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (RULONA), which many states adopt or adapt.
