Electronic & Remote Online Notarization (RON)

A registered electronic notary uses a VPN to hide location during a remote act. What is the safer answer?

A

Allowed if the recording is preserved.

B

Allowed if the principal consents.

C

Not allowed because location detection may not be disguised or disabled during the act.

D

Allowed if the notary is somewhere in the United States.

Correct Answer

C. Not allowed because location detection may not be disguised or disabled during the act.

AI Explanation

Electronic notaries must remain locatable while acting. 19 NYCRR §182.4(a)(4) requires a network that permits location detection and forbids using any action, process, or device to disguise or hide the actual location of the notary during the act. Unlike ordinary remote convenience tools, a VPN used to conceal location creates a compliance problem.
