A

That the principal previously appeared in person before the same notary.

B

That the record is written in English and will be filed in New York only.

C

Through verbal confirmation during the recorded act, that the record relates to a U.S. matter or U.S. property or a transaction substantially connected with the United States.

D

That the principal uses a passport issued by the United States.

Correct Answer

C. Through verbal confirmation during the recorded act, that the record relates to a U.S. matter or U.S. property or a transaction substantially connected with the United States.

AI Explanation

Remote acts for principals outside the United States require an added safeguard. 19 NYCRR §182.4(a)(9) requires verbal confirmation during the recorded electronic notarial act that the record either relates to a U.S. public official, court, governmental entity, or other U.S.-jurisdiction matter, or involves U.S. property or a transaction substantially connected with the United States. Unlike ordinary domestic remote acts, this extra verification is location-driven.
