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.
Detailed 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.
