When parties live in different states, notarization coordination requires careful planning. Remote Online Notarization (RON) is the most practical solution and is legally recognized in both Nevada and California, allowing signers to appear before a commissioned notary via secure video technology regardless of location. Both parties can sign and notarize simultaneously or separately.

Three Primary Methods:

Method 1: Remote Online Notarization (RON) — Fastest & Most Flexible

• Both parties sign and notarize via video conference with a commissioned online notary
• Complies with Nevada and California eNotary requirements
• Same-day or next-day scheduling available
• Platform handles identity verification, recording, and digital signature

Method 2: Separate State Notarizations — Traditional But Complex

• Each party uses a local notary in their state (California or Nevada)
• Both states must recognize the other's notarization (reciprocity applies)
• Documents may require apostille certification for cross-state validity
• Requires coordination and potential delays

Method 3: Travel Notarization — Premium Option

• Mobile notary travels to one party's location for in-person signing
• Practical only for high-value contracts or if timing aligns
• Provides highest certainty of legal enforceability

🌐 Best Practice for Vegas-California Contracts:
