Rich Smukler Mediation Provides Remote On-line Notarization to Streamline the Mediation process

In order to make the entire mediation process trouble-free and comfortable, along with video-conferencing with zoom technology, you can book your mediation on-line and experience the entire mediation process without leaving your home. This includes the previously cumbersome task of getting documents signed or notarized.

Effective January 1, 2020, the State of Florida revised its notary public laws to include interactive audio-video conferences to qualify under the “personal appearance” requirement via an approved vendors.  In short, this law allows Floridians to perform online notarization. Remote Online Notarization (RON) is the process where a signer and notary public use audio and video communication to notarize a signer’s electronic signature on electronic documents. What this means is online notarization has been redefined to include the performance of a notarial act using electronic means where the signer appears before the notary public by means of audio-video communication technology. So, while the notary and the signer see and hear each other via their computer screens, they no longer have to be in each other’s actual physical presence.
