Mobile speed
Pick RON for speed, lower cost, and convenience when both parties accept electronic notarization. Pick mobile when the document requires wet ink, the signer needs hands-on help, or the receiving party hasn't yet accepted RON.
Mobile notary: a commissioned notary travels to your home, office, hospital, or coffee shop. Documents are signed on paper, the notary affixes a wet seal, and you keep the originals. Remote online notary (RON): you connect to a notary over a video session on an approved platform. You upload the document, complete knowledge-based ID verification, sign electronically, and the notary applies a tamper-evident digital seal.

Remote online notarization (RON) is faster end-to-end. A RON session typically completes in 10–15 minutes from your laptop or phone. A mobile notary takes 30–120 minutes including travel and in-person signing.
RON is usually cheaper. The statutory cap for online notarial acts is $25 nationally. Mobile notaries add travel fees of $25–$100 on top of per-signature fees.
Mobile notarization is legal in every U.S. state. RON is permanently authorized in 45+ states and accepted nationally by major lenders, courts, and federal agencies — but a small number of states and certain document types still require in-person execution.
Choose mobile when the document explicitly requires wet ink (some original deeds, wills, codicils), when the signer lacks reliable broadband or a webcam, or when the receiving party has not yet accepted electronic notarizations.
Hybrid and full-eClosings are increasingly common for refinances and home equity loans. Purchase transactions with county recording often still require an in-person mobile signing for the deed of trust.
