Notes:
  • Pavaso is not currently optimized to complete eClosings on a smartphone device.
  • For an ideal experience, a laptop with touchscreen is recommended but not required. When using a laptop with a touchscreen or tablet, a stylus pen is recommended but not required.
  • Signature pads are not compatible with Pavaso’s closing solutions.
  • Older versions of Chrome and Firefox not listed above are compatible with Pavaso’s RON; however, the Pavaso Screen Share plugin is required and available in the Chrome Web Store. Internet Explorer and older versions of Edge, Opera and Safari not listed above are not compatible. Mac desktop and laptops require Chrome or Firefox browsers for RON and Essential Notary signings when older browsers are used.
  • Microsoft Surface Pro is the only hybrid laptop device supported for RON and Essential Notary signings.
  • Pavaso’s RON and Essential Notary require a camera, microphone, and speakers to communicate with the notary.
  • During the RON and Essential Notary signings, signers and witnesses are required to validate their photo ID through a trusted third-party identity verification service. Signers and witnesses must use their smartphone to take a picture of their photo ID and upload it via text. Signers must be able to receive and send messages to U.S.-based phone numbers to complete the ID validation. The ID validation text cannot be sent to third-party messaging services. iPhone® users must use Safari to validate their ID.
  • You may use this tool to test your internet speed.

* Due to platform capabilities, state law or regulation, or all, electronic notarization and remote online notarization are not available in all areas.

** Users should consult their title insurance underwriter, if applicable, laws, regulations and Executive Orders applicable to each signing session. Users are solely responsible for all steps necessary to ascertain, determine, meet and verify compliance with all applicable orders, laws, regulations, rules and requirements governing any notarial or other execution of writings facilitated in whole or part through Pavaso’s Essential Notary™ or any other Pavaso technology.
