Common Questions About Remote Online Notarization with Notary SWFL

Hi there! My name is Katie Tremulis, and I’m the owner of Notary SWFL, where we specialize in Remote Online Notarizations (RON) across a variety of industries including real estate, law, and more.

One of the most common questions I get (seriously, I hear this one almost every day!) is:

“My signer is in [insert country/state]... can you still do the notarization?”

The answer is yes.
As long as the notary is located in their commissioned state at the time of the signing, we can notarize for clients anywhere in the world. Whether your signer is in Europe, Asia, or right here in the U.S., we can accommodate.

“What if the signer is a foreign national without a Social Security number?”

Another great question—and again, yes, we can still help.
There are just a few additional steps we need to take on the backend, so I do ask that you give me a heads-up ahead of time. If you're with a title company, this is especially important for real estate transactions involving foreign nationals. I’ll ask you a few extra questions to make sure everything goes smoothly.

“Do you require a lead time for bookings?”

Ideally, I ask for 4 to 6 hours of lead time so we can properly schedule and prepare. That said, I understand emergencies happen. If you need something urgently, just reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate.

“What hours are you available?”

Notary SWFL is available 24/7, including weekends and holidays.
If you have a client overseas who’s only available at 3 AM EST—no problem. We just ask for some advance notice so we can lock it into the schedule and make sure everyone is ready.

“What if my signer speaks another language?”

In most cases, we can accommodate that too.
Languages like Spanish, Italian, and Mandarin are typically covered. If your signer speaks a less common dialect or language, please contact me in advance. It might require extra coordination or a longer lead time, but we can usually make it happen.
