RON
Can a Utah notary perform RON for out-of-state signers?
Quick Answer
Yes. Utah RON law allows notaries to serve signers located anywhere in the United States or internationally, as long as the notary follows Utah's RON requirements.
Yes, a Utah-commissioned notary can perform RON for signers located in other states or even other countries. The key legal principle is that the notarization is governed by the laws of the state where the notary is located, not where the signer is.
This means:
- Out-of-state signers: Anyone in the U.S. can use a Utah RON notary
- International signers: Signers abroad can also use Utah RON, though the receiving country should accept electronically notarized documents
- Utah law governs: All Utah RON requirements (identity verification, recording, digital seal) apply regardless of where the signer is
However, there are some important considerations:
- The receiving entity (title company, court, government agency) must accept RON-notarized documents — most do, but always verify
- Some states have restrictions on their residents using out-of-state RON services for certain document types
- International signers need a valid form of identification that meets Utah's requirements
