Per the ACTEC website, you can use RON for notarization of EP docs, but not witnessing. I would love to hear from RONs or firms with RONs about how this option is working.

<p>Greetings Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Being able to meet clients to notarize Powers of Attorney or deeds is now a significant challenge. Are any of you remote notaries? Or have you worked with a remote notary that you trust?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I am very interested in learning how to use this service!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thank you for any information/experience you can share!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Best,<o:p></o:p></p>
