Electronic & Remote Online Notarization (RON)

A remote signer is not personally known to the electronic notary. The signer shows a current passport on camera and answers one identity question, but no third-party credential analysis is used. What is the best answer?

A

The identification is sufficient because the signer showed a current government ID on camera.

B

The identification is insufficient because a non-personally-known remote signer must satisfy identity verification, credential analysis, and identity proofing.

C

The identification is sufficient if the signer later mails a photocopy of the ID.

D

The identification is sufficient because one knowledge-based question always replaces credential analysis.

Correct Answer

B. The identification is insufficient because a non-personally-known remote signer must satisfy identity verification, credential analysis, and identity proofing.

AI Explanation

Remote identity rules are cumulative, not optional. 19 NYCRR §182.5(c) requires all three components for a non-personally-known signer appearing through communication technology: identity verification, credential analysis, and identity proofing by a third-party service provider. Not to be confused with physical appearance rules under §182.5(b), which use different methods.
