Remote online notarization (RON) allows you to notarize your documents digitally, providing freedom and flexibility. It’s a virtual and secure service that confirms your identity and provides seals for your documents.

Anyone in the United States, including Missouri, can get their documents notarized online with LawDepot’s Online Notary service. Using your device's camera and microphone, you can connect with a qualified notary public from your home or office.

Yes. In August 2020, House Bill No. 1655 added online notarization provisions, permitting notaries in Missouri to provide online notarization.

In addition, the Full Faith and Credit Clause makes online notarization legal when obtained from a registered notary in any state. This means that Missourians can also have their documents notarized by notaries out of state.

According to the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign Act), e-signatures are equal to a handwritten signature. E-signatures follow Missouri statutes about required signatures on a legal document.

LawDepot charges Missourians $25 for a first seal and $10 for each extra seal. This cost includes your live online call with a notary and an acknowledgment or jurat.

LawDepot’s remote notaries can do the following:

• Take acknowledgments, where you appear in front of a notary, present your document, and express your willingness to sign it
• Perform jurats, where you sign and swear that the contents of your document are accurate and truthful

LawDepot’s Online Notary works for the same documents as an in-person notary. You can virtually notarize business documents, sworn statements, real estate contracts, and more.

In Missouri, you can use online notaries for various legal needs, such as:

• Affidavits
• Power of Attorney
• Loan Agreements and Bills of Sale
• Quitclaim Deeds and Mortgage Agreements
• Articles of Incorporation and Trademark Assignments
• Separation Agreements and Divorce Agreements
• Prenuptial Agreements and Postnuptial Agreements
• Cohabitation Agreements

You can not notarize vital records online. Vital records are important documents that hold information about life events. For example, you cannot notarize a birth or death certificate online. Missourians can get certified vital records from places like the Missouri Bureau of Vital Records.

LawDepot’s Online Notary cannot notarize the following:

• Last Wills and Testaments
• Pour-Over Wills
• Documents for use outside of the U.S.
• True copies of birth, marriage, and death certificates
• Court-issued documents
