Do I Need to Print My Document for Remote Online Notarization?

March 13, 20252 min read

If you have never used remote online notarization (RON) before, you might be wondering:
Do I need to print my document before getting it notarized online?

The simple answer? No.

One of the biggest perks of online notarization is that it is completely digital—no printing, scanning, or mailing required. But let’s break it down so there’s no confusion.

How Online Notarization Works (No Printing Needed!)

With remote online notarization, everything happens electronically:

  1. Upload Your Document – If it is already a digital file (like a PDF or Word document), you simply upload it to the notary’s secure platform.

  2. Review It on Screen – You and the notary will go over the document together in a secure video session.

  3. Sign It Digitally – Instead of signing with a pen, you e-sign it directly on your device.

  4. The Notary Seals It Electronically – The notary verifies your identity, witnesses your signature, and applies their digital signature and official seal—all online.

  5. Download Your Notarized Document – The final, legally notarized document is ready for immediate use—no scanning, faxing, or mailing needed.

But What If I Only Have a Paper Copy?

No problem! If you have a physical document, you can:

  • Take a clear photo or scan it using your phone

  • Convert it into a PDF or image file

  • Upload the digital version to the notary platform

After that, the process is completely online—no paper needed.

What Is an E-Sign?

An e-sign, or electronic signature, is a legally recognized way to sign documents digitally instead of using a handwritten signature. When you use remote online notarization, you apply your signature electronically using your computer, tablet, or smartphone. It is fast, secure, and legally binding.

Why This Is a Game-Changer

  • Saves Time – No extra steps, no running to a printer or scanner.

  • More Secure – Digital documents are encrypted and tamper-proof.

  • Super Convenient – Notarize documents anytime, from anywhere.

The Bottom Line

If you are using remote online notary services, you do not need to print anything. Everything is handled electronically, making the process fast, easy, and stress-free.

Need a document notarized? Now you know—no printer required!
