In-person electronic notarizations (IPEN), Remote online notarizations (RON) and Remote In-person signature notarizations (RIN) are all forms of electronic notarization that are used to legally verify the identity of a signer and the authenticity of a document. However, each type of notarization has its own unique characteristics and requirements.
IPEN, also called electronic notarization, is a process in which a notary public meets with the signer of a document in person, verifies their identity through government-issued identification or other means, and then uses an electronic signature and seal to notarize the document. This type of notarization typically requires the use of specialized software and hardware, such as a digital signature pad or a webcam, to capture the signature and seal of the notary.
RON, also called remote online notarization, is a process in which a notary public and signer are in different locations and communicate over the internet. The notary uses video conferencing technology to verify the identity of the signer, and then uses an electronic signature and seal to notarize the document. This type of notarization typically requires the use of specialized software, such as a digital signature pad or a webcam, to capture the signature and seal of the notary and the signer.
RIN, also called remote in-person signature notarization, is a process in which a notary public meets with the signer of a document in person, verifies their identity through government-issued identification or other means, and then uses an electronic signature and seal to notarize the document, but the notary and signer are in different physical location but they are able to see each other via video conferencing and the signing of the document is done in the presence of the notary.
All these electronic notarization methods have the advantage of being fast and convenient, as they allow documents to be notarized without the signer having to physically appear before a notary. However, each type of electronic notarization also has its own set of requirements and limitations. For example, RON requires a high-speed internet connection and a webcam, while RIN requires a reliable video conferencing technology.
IPEN, RON, and RIN are all forms of electronic notarization that allow documents to be notarized without the signer having to physically appear before a notary. Each type of notarization has its own unique characteristics and requirements, and it is important to understand the differences between them in order to choose the right method for a particular situation.
