Remote Online Notarization in Florida: what to confirm before you schedule.
Florida Statute § 117.265 establishes the procedural requirements for remote online notarization (RON). But the statute is only part of the picture.
Before scheduling a remote signing, parties should confirm that the receiving institution, lender, court, or recording office will accept a RON-executed document. Acceptance policies vary by organization and document type.
A RON session that meets every statutory requirement can still face rejection if the receiving party's internal policy has not caught up with the law.
