Healthcare RON — frequently asked questions

Everything your organization needs to know about remote notarization for healthcare documents.

Can a hospitalized patient get documents notarized?

Yes. Any patient with access to a smartphone, tablet, or laptop with a camera can participate in a Zignature RON session. A nurse, family member, or caregiver can help the patient connect. The identity verification process (ID scan + liveness detection) can be completed with assistance. Notary sessions are available on-demand within minutes — critical for urgent situations.

Do you have a Business Associate Agreement?

Yes. We provide a standard HIPAA Business Associate Agreement for all healthcare customers who handle PHI through Zignature. Email privacy@zignature.io to request a BAA before your first healthcare-related notarization. Custom BAA terms are available for enterprise customers.

How fast can urgent notarizations be handled?

On-demand sessions typically connect patients with an available notary within 5 minutes. Identity verification takes 2 minutes. The notarization itself takes 10–15 minutes for most documents. Total time from request to certified PDF is typically under 20 minutes — far faster than arranging an in-person mobile notary, which often takes hours or days.

Who gets the certified copy after the session?

You control document delivery. Configure Zignature to automatically deliver certified PDFs to the patient, their attorney, the requesting provider, and any other designated recipient — all simultaneously, immediately after the session completes. No manual scanning, no paper, no mail.

Are clinical trial consent forms valid when notarized via RON?

Yes. In RON-authorized states, informed consent documents for clinical trial enrollment can be notarized remotely. The video recording and identity verification record provide a detailed audit trail for regulatory submissions to the FDA and IRBs. The cryptographic PKI seal demonstrates document integrity for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance purposes.

Can nursing homes and assisted living facilities use Zignature RON?

Yes. Nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and hospice providers are among our most frequent healthcare users. Staff can assist residents in connecting to a RON session via any tablet or laptop. The HIPAA-compliant session protects resident PHI, and the completed documents are delivered immediately to designated recipients — family members, attorneys, or the facility itself.

What document types qualify as advance directives for RON?

Advance directives vary by state but commonly include: living wills (specifying end-of-life care preferences), medical powers of attorney (designating a healthcare decision-maker), POLST/MOLST forms (physician orders for life-sustaining treatment), DNR orders, and anatomical gift declarations. Zignature notaries are trained on state-specific advance directive requirements and will guide you through the correct execution procedure for your patient's state of residence.
