Remote Online Notarization
Authorized
The Secretary of the Commonwealth’s handbook (August 10, 2026) describes remote online notarization as an electronic notarization in which the signer is not in the notary’s physical presence. The act is treated as performed in Virginia at the notary’s location. A traditional commission is required before an electronic commission. No surety bond is required.
