Electronic & Remote Online Notarization (RON)

A subpoena or lawful request seeks records maintained for an electronic notarial act. Which statement is most accurate under Part 182?

A

The notary may ignore the request unless the principal consents.

B

Part 182 includes recordkeeping and reporting obligations, including production of records when lawfully required.

C

Records may be produced only after the ten-year retention period ends.

D

Only the platform vendor, never the notary, can be asked to produce records.

Correct Answer

B. Part 182 includes recordkeeping and reporting obligations, including production of records when lawfully required.

AI Explanation

Electronic records are not beyond legal process. 19 NYCRR §182.9 addresses recordkeeping and reporting duties for electronic notarial acts, including production obligations when lawfully required. Unlike the old assumption that only a platform keeps records, the regulation places duties on the notary as well.
