What this covers

Sample questions

How does an in-person electronic notarization differ from a remote online notarization?

  1. The signer may be in another state and appears before the notary by video link
  2. The notary uses a paper journal in place of any technology
  3. The notary is not required to identify the signer at all
  4. The signer is physically with the notary and signs an electronic record
Show the answer

D. The signer is physically with the notary and signs an electronic record

In an in-person electronic notarization the record and signatures are electronic, but the signer still physically appears before the notary. Appearing by video link is what defines a remote notarization. Identification is required in both.

Reference: RULONA Sections 6 and 14A; general notarial practice

Under the remote provisions of the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts, where must the notary be at the time of a remote notarization?

  1. Physically located in the commissioning state
  2. In the same state as the remote signer
  3. In the county where the record will be filed
  4. Anywhere at all with an internet connection
Show the answer

A. Physically located in the commissioning state

The uniform act authorizes a notary 'located in this state' to act for a remotely located individual. The signer may be elsewhere, but the notary's authority is exercised from within the state that commissioned the notary.

Reference: RULONA Section 14A(c)

Under the remote provisions of the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts, what record of the session must be created?

  1. A written summary prepared by the signer
  2. A still photograph of the signer's face
  3. An audio-visual recording of the notarial act
  4. A typed transcript mailed to the state
Show the answer

C. An audio-visual recording of the notarial act

The uniform act requires the notary, or a person acting for the notary, to create an audio-visual recording of the performance of the remote notarial act, and the recording is then retained for the period the state sets.

Reference: RULONA Section 14A(c)(3) and (k) (2021 text; subsection (f) in the 2018 text)
