Remote Online Notarization (RON) Checklist - Illinois

Performing a Remote Online Notarization (RON) requires careful attention to detail. This 10-step checklist, created by Roman Endeavors, Inc., helps you keep your process organized, professional, and compliant with Illinois law—from verifying your signer's identity to completing your final records.

What You’ll Get- A simple, structured checklist to help you:

• Confirm your equipment and credentials are ready.
• Properly identify your signers and document their actions.
• Follow the right steps to sign, stamp, and record your session accurately.

Important Note: This tool is only for Illinois notaries who have already passed their state-mandated RON training and certification. Note: RON is different from "Electronic Signature Notarization," which requires a separate certification.
