Do I need U.S. Embassy Athens, or can I use RON?
U.S. embassy and consulate notarial services are an in-person service path; the U.S. Department of State states that its posts do not provide remote or virtual notarial services. U.S. Embassy Athens is one service path for consular notarization. U.S.-based remote online notarization may be a separate service path for an eligible U.S.-related document when commissioning-state law, identity verification, electronic-document requirements and recipient acceptance permit it.

Being physically located in a country where remote online notarization may be available does not mean every document can be completed by RON. Passport forms, court documents, recordable instruments, documents requiring wet ink, and documents controlled by a government agency or receiving institution may have additional requirements. Check the document-specific instructions before scheduling.

Some situations may still require embassy or consular notarization, apostille or authentication, legalization, receiving-agency instructions, legal advice from an attorney, or country-specific requirements. iRemoteNotary does not provide legal advice.
Remote online notarization is performed under the law of the online notary's commissioning state. iRemoteNotary's current international workflow relies on Florida law for credential analysis and compliant identity proofing when personal knowledge is not used. That workflow uses biometric identity verification on compatible RON platforms. Florida law permits a foreign-government passport to serve as a government-issued identification credential for an online principal outside the United States. The credential must still be supported by the RON platform, credential analysis must succeed, and the required identity-proofing process must be completed.
Do not sign your document before the session unless the receiving party has instructed otherwise.
