10. What if an instrument is notarized by an online notary from another state?

Answer:  Old Republic National Title will insure transactions involving Florida property where the instrument(s) to be insured or any deed in the back chain were acknowledged by either a Florida or other state RON if the principal is a U.S. citizen. Due to the higher risk and potential for fraud, you must contact underwriting to discuss the circumstances prior to insuring any transaction which utilizes RON for a non-US citizen or other person without a U.S. social security number.
