Remote Online Notarization Development Workgroup (DWG)

Join the Remote Online Notarization workgroup to hear about the latest efforts, to collaborate and contribute to our work efforts!

What is the Remote Online Notarization Development Workgroup?

As RON has seen its popularity and usage grow across the industry, the RON workgroup is working to clarify MISMO's RON Standard V1 and investigate the need to update it as MISMO RON Standard V2. Potential updates include new system requirements on electronic records and signatures, updated guidelines on credential analysis and system updates to enable modifications to the notarial certificate and an enhanced ability to store an eJournal.

The group is collaborating with eClosing Vendors, Document Vendors, RON Vendors, Title Underwriters,  the National Notary Association, state government officials and others to review and update MISMO's standards for remote online notarization. These standards

  • Reduce friction between partners involved in the eClosing transaction.
  • Eliminate varying rules across states by providing a single source that a Secretary of State can cite with guidance.
  • Contribute to industry confidence in eClose Transactions which can ultimately influence overall Digital Mortgage adoption.
