Notarize announced at its 2021 Rewired for Real Estate conference Wednesday that it is opening up its platform to independent notaries to use in their remote online notarization (RON) transactions.
Notarize is piloting its program launch in May in two states: Tennessee and Washington. After the initial pilot, the company plans to quickly roll it out to additional states over the summer. By the end of 2021, Notarize expects this platform function should be available to notaries in all 31 RON-approved states.
At the end of last year, Notarize announced it would open its platform up to notaries and allow them to manage their teams with performance reporting, ongoing training and notary commission expiration tracking. Opening the platform allowed independent notaries to join the platform and boost their earnings at a time when in-person notarizations posed a serious health risk.
