Closing on a home while sitting halfway across the globe used to feel nearly impossible. In traditional real estate transactions, the notary public plays a critical role in verifying identities and signing key legal documents in person. But what happens when you're not in the same country—or even the same time zone—as your closing team? That’s where Remote Online Notarization (RON) becomes a lifeline.
Virtual notarization is a legal, secure, and time-saving solution that lets you sign and notarize important real estate documents entirely online. At AZ Roving Notary, we specialize in helping buyers, sellers, and borrowers complete time-sensitive transactions from anywhere in the world. Whether you're active military, stationed abroad for work, or simply traveling, we can help you keep your real estate deal on track.
Real estate is fast-paced. When you're buying or selling a property, every delay can cost you—financially and emotionally. Traditional notarizations can take days or even weeks to schedule, especially when you're overseas. Add international shipping, time zone differences, and paperwork errors, and you're looking at a potential deal-breaker.
Remote Online Notarization solves that problem. RON allows documents to be signed and notarized in real-time through a secure, encrypted video platform. At AZ Roving Notary, we use two trusted, global-friendly platforms—Pactima and Secured Signing—that support both U.S. citizens and foreign nationals. These platforms are designed for signer simplicity without compromising security, ensuring your signing process is easy to follow, legally sound, and fully protected.
And yes—even if you're stuck on the space station, the moon, or Mars, as long as you have a secure internet connection to Earth, we can help facilitate your real estate documents. We’re not joking.
It’s not just about convenience—it’s about precision. Careful attention to detail is what sets AZ Roving Notary apart. One small mistake—like a missed date or an initial in the wrong place—can delay your closing or cost you that once-in-a-lifetime mortgage rate. That’s why we double- and triple-check everything before, during, and after your session.
We’ve designed our process to be smooth and stress-free, no matter where you're located. Here's how it works:
Whether you’re closing on a home, refinancing,or signing a deed, we make the process easy from start to finish.
