Remote Ink Notarization (RIN)

What is RIN and how does SIGNiX support it?

SIGNiX does support RIN, also known as a “hybrid” closing. In general, RINs use solutions such as Zoom to satisfy the requirement that a document signer personally appear before a Notary. The Notary verifies the identity of the signer based on existing state Notary laws or by other methods specified by their state. Paper documents are signed in pen and ink and faxed or transmitted electronically between the signer and Notary.

While individual state implementations vary, the fundamentals of a remote
ink signed notarization are:
• The Notary and signer meet in real time using audiovisual communication technology, like Zoom.
• If not personally known to the Notary, the signer completes authentication as required by state laws.
• The signer will sign the paper document with a pen.
• The signer electronically transmits the originally signed paper document or mails it to
the Notary.
• The Notary prints the transmitted document or receives the originally signed paper
document in the mail, and completes, signs with a pen, and affixes an impression of the
physical official seal on the certificate of notarial act.
• The Notary electronically transmits the notarized document or mails the originally
signed and notarized paper document to their signer.
