Alabama Uses RIN (Remote Ink Notarization), Not RON
Confused about remote notarization in Alabama? Many people think Alabama uses the same electronic RON process as other states, but that's not the case. Understanding the difference ensures your documents are processed correctly and legally recognized
RIN (Remote Ink Notarization) - What Alabama Uses:
- You sign with wet ink on physical paper during the video call
- We apply a physical notary seal to the document
- Document is mailed between you and the notary
- Results in a traditional paper document with physical seal
RON (Remote Online Notarization) - Not Used in Alabama:
- Everything is electronic (e-signatures, e-seals, e-documents)
- No physical documents or mailing required
- Fully digital process from start to finish
Alabama's hybrid RIN process combines the convenience of remote video witnessing with the security and legal recognition of traditional wet-ink signatures and physical notary seals.
How Remote Notarization Works
Never done this before? Don't worry - the process is straightforward and we guide you through each step.
Step 1: Schedule Your Video Appointment
Choose a time that works for you - evening and weekend slots available. Payment is required at time of booking to secure your appointment.
Step 2: Prepare Your Documents & ID
All signers must present two (2) valid forms of government-issued identification.
At least one form of identification must include both a photograph and the signer’s signature.
Signers must also provide supporting documents that reasonably establish identity, which may include one or more of the following:
- Mortgage or loan records
- A current utility bill
- Voter identification documentation
- A report from a major credit reporting agency
All documents requiring notarization must be uploaded prior to the scheduled appointment. Appointments will not proceed if required documents are not submitted in advance.
Step 3: Join the Video Call
The notarization is conducted by secure video conference. During the session, the signer presents the required identification on camera and signs the document while the notarization is witnessed in real time.
Step 4: Mail Your Document
Send the signed document to me via mail. I can recommend shipping options after your video appointment.
Step 5: Receive Your Notarized Document
I apply my official seal and return the completed document to you.
Total turnaround: 2-4 business days
Documents We Can Notarize Remotely
Remote notarization in Alabama is limited to acknowledgments only.
Documents requiring a jurat, oath, or affirmation must be notarized in person.
Documents that may be notarized remotely (acknowledgment only):
- Powers of attorney
- Deeds
- Real estate documents (non-closing)
- Consent forms
- Authorization letters
- Other documents containing proper acknowledgment wording
Not eligible for remote notarization:
Affidavits, wills, codicils, absentee ballot applications, and any document requiring an oath or affirmation under Alabama law.
Remote notarization reduces the need for in-person coordination and is suited for situations where distance, scheduling constraints, or mobility limitations make traditional notarization impractical.
Common use cases include:
- Out-of-state individuals requiring Alabama notarization
- Professionals with limited scheduling flexibility
- Clients located abroad, subject to document acceptance requirements
- Individuals with mobility or accessibility concerns
- Multiple parties coordinating from different locations
- Time-sensitive documents where in-person scheduling is not feasible
Clear Answers When You Need Them
Only acknowledgments can be performed remotely under Alabama law. Jurats and other notarial acts requiring an oath or affirmation in the notary's presence cannot be done via RIN.
Appointments may be scheduled within 24–48 hours of request, subject to availability. Total turnaround is typically 2–4 business days from the video appointment to delivery of the completed notarized document.
To complete a Remote Ink Notarization, each signer must present two (2) valid government-issued forms of identification, one of which must include both a photograph and signature, and provide supporting documents that reasonably establish identity, such as a utility bill, mortgage or loan record, voter identification documentation, or a major credit reporting agency report.
No special or expensive software is required. A camera-enabled device and a strong, reliable internet connection are required. Sessions are conducted via standard video conferencing platforms such as Zoom or Webex. Uninterrupted access is necessary to complete the session.
I'll provide the mailing address and recommended shipping options after your video appointment.
Remote notarization pricing reflects the additional technology, recording storage requirements, identity verification process, and shipping coordination involved in the service.
Alabama law requires us to maintain the video recording for seven years for legal compliance and protection.
Tracked or insured shipping methods are recommended. Once a document is released to a mail or delivery carrier, responsibility for transit rests with the carrier. I am not responsible for loss, delay, or damage that occurs during mailing. If a document is lost, the ability to replace or re-notarize it depends on the type of document and the requirements of the receiving office, court, lender, or agency.
Yes. As long as you sign the document on camera during our video call, someone else can mail it to us on your behalf.
Yes. Communication during the video session must be in English to comply with Alabama requirements.
