  1. A signer contacts an Indiana RON notary from a foreign country. May the Indiana notary complete the RON?

    Answer: Yes, Indiana RON law allows the signer to be located anywhere in the world

    Indiana's RON law does not restrict where the signer is physically located — the signer may be anywhere in the world.

  2. What happens to the electronic journal entry for a RON performed in Indiana if the RON technology provider goes out of business?

    Answer: The notary is responsible for ensuring records are transferred or preserved for the required retention period

    The notary remains responsible for ensuring that RON records are preserved for the required retention period, even if the technology provider ceases operations.

  3. Which of the following would be a valid reason for an Indiana RON notary to terminate a notarization session in progress?

    Answer: The audio-video connection becomes unreliable, preventing the notary from clearly seeing or hearing the signer

    An unreliable audio-video connection prevents the notary from satisfying the real-time communication requirement and is grounds for terminating the session.

  4. Must an Indiana notary who wants to perform RON register with the Secretary of State before offering RON services?

    Answer: Yes, Indiana requires RON notaries to complete additional registration or notification with the Secretary of State

    Indiana requires commissioned notaries to register with the Secretary of State specifically to perform RON before offering those services.

  5. An Indiana RON notary begins a session and realizes the signer's KBA responses are incorrect. What should the notary do?

    Answer: Terminate the notarization session, as failed identity verification means the signer cannot be notarized at this time

    Failed identity verification means the notary cannot confirm the signer's identity, and the notarization must be terminated.

  6. Under Indiana RON law, what is the notary's obligation regarding the electronic journal for RON sessions?

    Answer: The notary must maintain a secure electronic journal recording each RON act, in addition to the audio-visual recording

    Indiana requires RON notaries to maintain a secure electronic journal with entries for each RON act, separate from the audio-visual recording.
