Businesses of all kinds rely on signed and notarized documents to move mortgage closings, estate plans, title transfers, and other transactions forward. The right signing method depends on the document, signer, transaction, and applicable state requirements.
Snapdocs offers a portfolio of notary and signing solutions, including mobile notary services, remote online notarization (RON), and in-person electronic notarization (IPEN), to help businesses complete their most important signings.
“In the past few years, Snapdocs has seen fully digital signings grow 381.4%, since 2023, with volume more than quadrupling in the first half of this year compared with the same period last year. That growth reflects a broader need: people want secure identity checks, flexible ways to meet and sign, and fewer handoffs. The strongest digital signing experiences let organizations choose the right approach for each situation, with a process that people can complete confidently and trust.”
– Maria Ferrara, Director of RON & IPEN
Mobile notary: A notary travels to the signer for an in-person signing. Enables your clients to coordinate signings at a location convenient to them – whether at home, the office, or a coffee shop.
RON (Remote Online Notarization): The signer and notary complete the notarization online, where the transaction and documents are eligible. RON allows clients to sign and get important documents notarized, without needing an in-person appointment. This signing method allows for the most flexibility for clients whether they are traveling, live in a rural area, or simply prefer the convenience of signing from their home.
IPEN (In-person electronic notarization): The signer and notary meet in person while completing documents electronically. IPEN helps businesses keep notarizations digital even when an in-person meeting is required, with the flexibility to use their own notary staff or leverage Snapdocs extensive notary network.
Each method serves different needs. Snapdocs gives businesses options to match the signing experience to the transaction and the people involved.
“Having built RON and IPEN products since 2011, I’ve seen the demand for technology providers in this industry to quickly adapt to regulatory requirements and meet signer expectations at the same time. This hasn’t slowed down. At Snapdocs we are building our own digital signing products, offering more signing solutions than ever before, and collaborating with our customer community to deliver a cohesive platform for our customers and top-tier experience for our signers.”

Snapdocs Signing Solutions
For many businesses, notarization is one step in a larger transaction or customer journey. Snapdocs’ portfolio of signing solutions helps organizations incorporate that step into their existing workflows, without disrupting the way they do business.
For example, estate-planning platforms including Estately, Vanilla, and Trust & Will use Snapdocs to help clients move from completed documents to signed and notarized estate plans. Using the Snapdocs’ platform, clients can request a notarization and be connected with eligible notaries, allowing businesses to support the final steps of the estate-planning process without managing the notary coordination themselves.
Snapdocs is no stranger to challenging transactions. The company began in mortgage, one of the most highly regulated and operationally complex industries, and now powers 1 in 5 home lending transactions. Today its nationwide mobile and RON notary networks helps title companies, signing services, and other businesses support their customers’ signing needs.
Whether you support a few hundred notifications or manage high volume transactions, Snapdocs can help you identify the signing solution that fits your business needs.
