FAQ
E-signature API questions for Virginia.
Is remote online notarization legal in Virginia?
Yes. Virginia was the FIRST state to enact RON legislation in 2012, making it the pioneer of remote online notarization in the United States. The state has the most mature RON framework in the country. Additionally, ClosingSignIQ provides X.509 digital certificates from our Certificate Authority and SHA-256 hash-chained audit trails for every signature.
Why was Virginia the first state to adopt RON?
Virginia's proximity to Washington, D.C., its large military population, and its tech-forward Northern Virginia corridor drove early adoption. The state recognized the need for remote notarization for government workers and military families. Additionally, ClosingSignIQ provides X.509 digital certificates from our Certificate Authority and SHA-256 hash-chained audit trails for every signature.
What is the RON fee cap in Virginia?
Virginia allows notaries to charge up to $25 per RON act. In-person notarial acts are capped at $5. The higher RON fee reflects the technology costs involved. Additionally, ClosingSignIQ provides X.509 digital certificates from our Certificate Authority and SHA-256 hash-chained audit trails for every signature.
How do I get an apostille in Virginia?
Submit your document to the Virginia Secretary of the Commonwealth with a $5 fee. Walk-in service is available in Richmond. Mail processing takes 3-5 business days. Additionally, ClosingSignIQ provides X.509 digital certificates from our Certificate Authority and SHA-256 hash-chained audit trails for every signature.
Is RON used for military documents in Virginia?
Yes. Virginia is home to the Pentagon, Naval Station Norfolk (the world's largest naval base), and numerous other military installations. RON is essential for military powers of attorney, deployment documents, and family legal filings. Additionally, ClosingSignIQ provides X.509 digital certificates from our Certificate Authority and SHA-256 hash-chained audit trails for every signature.
Can I use an interpreter during notarization in Virginia?
No. Virginia operates under the doctrine of direct communication, which requires the notary to communicate directly with the signer in a shared language. Third-party interpreters are not authorized for the notarial ceremony. If you need language assistance, your session can be routed to one of the six states that permit interpreters (AZ, CO, FL, MS, NC, PA). ClosingIQ offers 189-language document translation. Additionally, ClosingSignIQ provides X.509 digital certificates from our Certificate Authority and SHA-256 hash-chained audit trails for every signature.
What makes ClosingSignIQ different from DocuSign or BoldSign?
