Tewksbury’s Guide to Remote Online Notarization: Is It Right for You?

Notary services have always required an in-person meeting—until now. Thanks to advances in technology and recent changes in Massachusetts law, Remote Online Notarization (RON) is becoming a real option for residents and businesses in Tewksbury, MA.

But how does it work? Is it legal? And is it the right fit for your next document signing?

In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about remote notarization in Tewksbury, including how to access it safely and when in-person notarization is still the better choice.


What Is Remote Online Notarization?

Remote Online Notarization (RON) allows you to sign and notarize documents from anywhere using a secure video platform. Instead of meeting a notary at your home or office, you:

  1. Connect via a secure video call
  2. Present your ID on screen
  3. Sign the document digitally
  4. Receive your notarized copy by email

It’s fast, convenient, and legally binding when done properly.


Is Remote Notarization Legal in Massachusetts?

Yes. Massachusetts now permits remote notarization under specific rules.

To be valid, the notary must:

  • Be physically located in Massachusetts at the time of notarization
  • Verify your identity via video
  • Record and store the session (per legal requirements)
  • Use approved tools and digital certificates
  • Confirm that all parties understand and are signing willingly

We’re fully trained, certified, and compliant to offer Remote Online Notarization in Tewksbury and surrounding areas.


What Kinds of Documents Can Be Notarized Remotely?

RON is great for many common legal, business, and personal documents, including:

  • Power of attorney forms
  • Affidavits and sworn statements
  • Healthcare directives
  • Travel consent forms
  • Real estate disclosures
  • Employment and HR documents
  • Business contracts
  • School or university forms

However, some real estate documents, wills, and estate documents may still require in-person notarization, especially when witnesses are involved.


Who Benefits Most from Remote Notarization?

Remote notarization is ideal for:

  • Busy professionals who can’t leave work
  • Elderly residents with limited mobility
  • Tewksbury families with children at home
  • Remote workers or freelancers
  • Students and graduates sending documents overseas
  • Business owners managing multi-state operations

If you’re comfortable with Zoom or video calls, RON can save you time and stress.

Testimonial from a Tewksbury Resident

“I was out of town and needed a document notarized urgently. They walked me through everything online—secure video call, easy ID check, and I had my document emailed back the same hour. It was a lifesaver.”
— Alex P., Tewksbury, MA


When to Choose In-Person Notary Instead

While RON is convenient, it’s not always the best option. Consider in-person notarization if:

  • Your document requires physical witnesses
  • You’re handling estate documents like wills or trusts
  • You or another signer is not comfortable with technology
  • The receiving agency doesn’t accept electronic notarizations

We offer both in-office and mobile notary services in Tewksbury, so you can choose what’s best for your needs.
