Do I Qualify for Remote Online Notarization?
On June 7, 2019, HB 409 “Electronic Legal Documents” was signed into law in the state of Florida. This law went into effect January 1, 2020 and authorizes Florida notaries to perform online remote notarizations or RON for short.
Currently due to the state of Florida regulations and software limitations we can only notarize documents for clients that live anywhere in the world, that are a U.S. Citizen with a valid Social Security Number and credit history. This third-party system is known as Knowledge Based Authentication, commonly referred to as KBA. If you have your credit report locked you will NOT BE Able to pass KBA.
The KBA third party software will generate 5 questions from your credit history that only the signer would know the answers to, and the signer must answer 4 or more questions correctly within 2 minutes to successfully pass. You will only get two tries to pass.
