Documents are pre-loaded into the platform ahead of time for digital signature, so there is no printing, scanning, or physical document handling involved. The notary verifies identity over the video session before witnessing the signature. This format typically takes less time than an in-person closing, since there is no travel and no waiting on a physical notary&#8217;s schedule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/tomo.com\/mortgage\/app\/preapproval\">Start Your Online Mortgage Application Today<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Equipment You Need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Full e-closing requires only a device with a camera and a microphone, a computer, tablet, or phone. Most RON platforms run directly in a web browser, so no special software installation is typically required beyond what your lender&#8217;s closing platform instructs you to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RON Legality Is Not the Same as Lender Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A state allowing RON does not automatically mean every lender can offer it. Lenders need their own e-closing infrastructure, integrations with a RON platform, trained closing staff, and compliance processes, before they can offer a full e-close. Verify directly with your lender whether they support full e-closing in your specific state rather than assuming it is available just because your state permits it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tomo Mortgage supports e-closing in states where it is legally permitted and where Tomo Mortgage operates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/tomo.com\/mortgage\/affordability\">See how much home you can afford<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is RON (Remote Online Notarization)?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RON is a process that lets a commissioned notary witness a signature over live video instead of in person, using audio-visual technology and identity verification to complete the notarization remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which states do not allow mortgage e-closing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">California is the most consistently cited state without full RON currently in effect, with a permanent statute not taking effect until January 1, 2030. Even in states without full RON, hybrid e-closing (digital signatures on most documents, wet signature on a small subset) is generally still available. Confirm current availability with your lender, since state laws and effective dates change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the difference between a full e-close and a hybrid e-close?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A full e-close signs every document digitally with a remote notary over video. A hybrid e-close signs most documents digitally but still requires an in-person, wet-signature notarization for a small subset, often the note and mortgage or deed of trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need special equipment for an e-closing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No special equipment beyond a device with a camera and microphone, such as a computer, tablet, or phone.
