Which states allow for Temporary Remote Online Notarization?

Submitted by UCS on March 30, 2020

In response to the stay-at-home order issued by many states and the Centers of Disease Control social distancing guideline of keeping 6 feet apart from another person, states have issued temporary authorizations for Notaries to perform Remote Online Notarizations (RON). These authorizations are issued through a Governor’s executive order, emergency rules and official guidance.

For information on the rules of each state click on the state below:

• Colorado
• Connecticut
• Florida
• Illinois
• Iowa
• Nebraska
• New Hampshire
• New York
• North Dakota
• Pennsylvania
• Vermont
• Washington*
• Wisconsin

Notaries in these states must follow rules set by the governor or state commissioning officials for these emergency authorizations.

*The Director of Licensing has not yet adopted rules for remote notarization. As soon as permanent or emergency rules are published, we will update this post.
