Prior to COVID-19, online notary services were slowly gaining popularity, but adoption rapidly accelerated last March. Pre-pandemic, only 22 states allowed for Remote Online Notarization (RON), but by the end of 2020, nearly all did. RON is here to stay, even after the pandemic is over because notaries and clients appreciate the convenience and flexibility. Growing your business in a virtual world can be challenging if you don’t know where to start, so I want to help. Luckily, there are a lot of ways to market yourself as an online notary. These six tips will help you grow your business virtually:

In the largely digital world that COVID-19 has forced upon us, the need for new tools that limits in-person interaction is critical. When it comes to signed documents, businesses can no longer rely on the slow and arduous process of obtaining handwritten signatures. And the need for a convenient, secure, and reliable digital or electronic signature platform is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Selecting a digital or electronic signature vendor that meets your needs is one of the most important decisions you can make, and when evaluating vendors, it's critical to ask the right questions. This article will discuss what you need to know in order to select the right digital or e-signature service for you.

Searching for a software vendor for any aspect of your business can be very time-consuming, whether it's a product that you know a lot about or an entirely new solution your organization is exploring.

Obviously, we spend a lot of time talking about signatures here at SIGNiX. When it comes to our business, we try to explain the difference between the mere image of a signature associated with a digital document (which is how a lot of simple e-signatures work) and the sophisticated exchange of public and private cryptographic keys that make our true digital signature more secure, more private, and more legally durable.

The point here, whether we're talking pen-to-paper or PDF, is that a signature is so much more than a mark on a page. It's even more than the complex legal ideas it represents. A signature is an artifact that says something about who we are as people, and what we want in a moment of our lives.
