RON has been legal in Florida since 2020, but it still requires setup and compliance. Once you’re certified, you can serve clients from anywhere in the state—and sometimes beyond.
Steps to become a RON notary in Florida:
RON allows for multiple appointments per day without leaving your desk, making it an efficient and scalable income stream.
Many clients still prefer or require in-person notarization. Mobile services remain essential for estate planning, elder care, and healthcare documents.
Target clients include:
You can charge travel, after-hours, or same-day fees in addition to your notarization fee.

To get started:
Many signing agents offer both RON and mobile closings, increasing volume and flexibility.
In a competitive market like Florida, it’s essential that clients can find and book you easily especially for RON services.
