If you need a Pennsylvania apostille for a document that was notarized online, the process may be far simpler than you expect. We routinely assist clients with apostilles for Remote Online Notarized (RON) documents issued in Pennsylvania, even when the signer is located outside the United States.


  • You do not need to fly back to Pennsylvania.

  • You do not need to visit a courthouse or government office in person.

  • And you do not need to be a U.S. citizen.


We manage the process for you from start to finish.


How Remote Online Notarization (RON) Works in Pennsylvania


Remote Online Notarization allows a commissioned Pennsylvania notary to notarize documents using secure audio-visual technology. The signer and notary meet online in real time, and the notarization is completed electronically.


Key points about Pennsylvania online notarization:


  • The notary is physically located in Pennsylvania

  • The signer can be anywhere in the world

  • Identity is verified using approved identity-proofing methods

  • The notarization is recorded and includes a full electronic audit trail

  • The final document is legally valid and eligible for apostille when properly completed


What Is an Apostille?


An apostille is a certification issued by the Pennsylvania Department of State that authenticates a document for use in another country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention.


An apostille confirms:


  • The notary was properly commissioned

  • The notary’s signature and seal are valid

  • The document is authentic for international use


Once an apostille is attached, the document can be accepted abroad without further legalization.


You Don’t Have to Travel Back to Pennsylvania


Many people assume that if a document originated in Pennsylvania, they must physically return to the state to complete the process. That is not true.


If your document was:


  • Notarized online by a Pennsylvania notary, and

  • Prepared correctly for international use


We can coordinate:


  • The online notarization (if not already completed)

  • Submission to the Pennsylvania Department of State

  • Apostille issuance

  • Secure delivery of your finalized documents


All without you stepping on a plane.


You Can Be Located Almost Anywhere in the World


We regularly assist clients who are physically located in countries such as:


  1. United Kingdom

  2. Germany

  3. France

  4. Spain

  5. Italy

  6. Mexico

  7. Canada

  8. Australia

  9. Japan

  10. South Africa


Your physical location does not prevent you from completing a Pennsylvania online notarization or obtaining an apostille.


U.S. Citizenship Is NOT Required


You do not need to be a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident to:

  • Use a Pennsylvania Remote Online Notary

  • Obtain a Pennsylvania apostille

  • Authenticate documents for international use


Foreign nationals, dual citizens, and international residents can all complete this process as long as identity requirements are met and the document qualifies.
