Florida does not have a list of "approved" RON Service Providers. The companies that we hear about most frequently are Pavaso, NotaryCam, DocVerify and Notarize. They are all slammed right now and it is hard to get through to them. You have to be persistent!
Attached is a map of states that have passed RON legislation as of March 26, 2020 (this does not include any Executive Orders entered during the pandemic). http://www.thefund.com/information-center/pdf/digital-closings/ron-states-3-26-30-for-popup-responses.docx
