That the principal has never been outside New York before
That the record or subject of the act involves a matter before a U.S. authority, U.S. property, or a transaction substantially connected with the United States
That the signer also appears before a French notary
That the deed is signed only in wet ink
Correct Answer
B. That the record or subject of the act involves a matter before a U.S. authority, U.S. property, or a transaction substantially connected with the United States
AI Explanation
Out-of-country signers trigger an extra U.S.-connection rule. Executive Law §135-c(4)(a) and 19 NYCRR §182.4(a)(9) require verification that the record or subject of the act relates to a U.S. official or entity, involves property in the United States, or involves a transaction substantially connected with the United States. By contrast, the rule does not require a second foreign notary.
