Oregon Remote Online Notarization Training

Remote online notarization (RON) in Oregon allows a commissioned notary public to perform notarial acts via secure audio/video communication for signers who are not in the same physical location.

To perform RON, an Oregon notary must first hold a valid notary commission and then complete additional RON-specific requirements.

RON requires reliable, secure technology both for the notary and the vendor platform.

Oregon law requires notaries to verify the identity of remote signers by methods equivalent to in-person notarization.

This module covers the step-by-step RON session. The notary should begin by verifying all technical elements (camera, audio, Internet) and that the signer has their ID and documents ready.

Remote notaries in Oregon must fulfill the same core duties as traditional notaries (impartiality, accurate record-keeping, etc.), with additional considerations for remote practice.

This module examines how Oregon’s legal framework, rules, and standards collectively govern RON, ensuring compliance.

This module covers the specific technology platforms and state systems used in Oregon’s RON program.

Oregon’s rules ensure that remote identity verification is robust and trustworthy. Identity proofing in Oregon RON relies on two factors (something the signer has – a valid ID – and something they know – knowledge questions).

In Oregon RON, the notary’s official seal and signature are digital. An electronic notarial signature (ORS 194.215) is a digital signature used by the notary to sign electronic records.

This module focuses on how RON records must be maintained and the privacy rules that protect them. Oregon requires notaries to chronicle all notarizations in a journal.

This final module prepares notaries for practical operation and support issues. Notaries should ensure operational readiness: have a reliable computer/tablet, high-speed Internet, and a backup plan.
