   Remote online notary and mobile notary are two different types of notary services. A remote online notary is a notary public who is authorized to notarize documents remotely using audio-visual technology. This means that the notary and the signer are not in the same physical location, but are able to communicate and see each other through an online video conferencing platform. Remote online notaries are typically used for transactions that take place entirely online, such as real estate closings, legal documents, and financial transactions.

On the other hand, a mobile notary is a notary public who travels to a location specified by the client to notarize documents. This can be at a home, office, hospital, or any other location that is convenient for the client. Mobile notaries are typically used for individuals who are unable to travel to a notary's office or for businesses that require documents to be notarized on site.

In summary, remote online notaries use technology to notarize documents remotely, while mobile notaries travel to the client's location to notarize documents.
