State-approved RON platform finder

What it works out

8 states in our data publish a list of the platforms a notary there may use for remote work. The finder shows one list at a time, exactly as the state writes it: the entry names, the type column where the list has one, and the approval date or period where the list prints it. The figure is the number of entries that approve a platform for remote online notarization. Lists that mix remote and in-person electronic approvals (Pennsylvania's e-notary entries, Kansas's IPEN-only entries) are filtered to their remote entries unless you untick the box; the difference between the two acts is in RON vs IPEN.

Type a platform name and the finder also searches every other list. States rarely write a vendor's name the way its website does: a list may carry the company's legal name, a former name or a “doing business as”. So the search also matches the names on our vendor records, which tie each list entry to one platform. To see every platform against every list at once, use the state-approved RON platforms comparison.

Worked example: one list, then one name across all of them

The finder opens on Pennsylvania. Its list has 34 entries; 6 of them are approved for in-person electronic notarization only (“e-notary”), which leaves 28 a Pennsylvania notary can use for a remote session. That is the figure the tool shows. Now type “Proof”: it is on 6 of the 8 lists as a remote entry, under names that differ from list to list (Notarize, Inc.; Proof, Inc. FKA Notarize, Inc.; Proof (formerly Notarize); Notarize Inc. dba Proof.com; Proof Platform; Proof (formerly Notarize)).

Every list in the finder, with the counts it works from.

Where a list prints no date, our read date is the only date to go on. Before you sign up with a platform, open the state's own list: the state's list governs, and ours is a reading of it on the date shown.

State notes

The 8 list states each have a page that reads their list in full, with the rule behind it. 4 more states in our data handle platforms differently, and the finder leaves them out because there is no approval list to show:

• CO

  Colorado: the Remote Notarization Providers.

• KS

  Kansas: the RON/IPEN Provider List.

• LA

  Louisiana: the Remote Notary Approved Vendor List.

• ME

  Maine: the Approved Providers of Technology.

• MD

  Maryland: the List of Authorized Remote Online Notary (RON) Vendors.

• MO

  Missouri: the Approved Notary Software Vendors.

• NE

  Nebraska: the Approved Online Notary Solution Providers.

• PA

  Pennsylvania: the Electronic Notarization and Remote Notarization Technology Providers.

• FL

  Florida. The Department of State publishes the RON service providers that filed the annual self-certification required by § 117.295(4)⁠(a), with filing dates (122 filings listed on 2026-10-22, many being repeat annual filings by the same provider). It is a self-certification list, not an approval: the Department 'does not recommend nor endorse any particular third party vendors.' source

• TX

  Texas. The Secretary of State keeps no approved provider list. On digital certificates: 'The secretary of state cannot recommend any third party providers to you.' On identity proofing: asked whether it has a list of approved providers, the SOS answers 'No.' source

• VA

  Virginia. The Secretary of the Commonwealth lists no vendors: it 'will not render an opinion or determination as to whether a particular electronic notarization system or technology used by a notary is in compliance' and responsibility for compliance is solely on the electronic notary. source

• WA

  Washington. No technology list was found on the Department of Licensing notary pages read this run. DOL tells notaries to 'Check with the software maker to find out if their product is capable of meeting these standards'; each notary names their software when applying for the remote endorsement and waits for DOL approval. source

Other states publish lists too, and some do not approve platforms at all. If yours is not here, check your state's current rule with its commissioning office. For a state without a list, the rows in what state rules ask of a RON platform are the test you apply yourself. Texas, Florida and Virginia each run a path of their own, and their platform comparisons are with the rest under RON platforms.
