Electronic & Remote Online Notarization (RON)

An electronic notary personally knows a remotely appearing signer. What identity rule applies?

A

Credential analysis and identity proofing are always mandatory.

B

The notary's attestation of personal knowledge may itself satisfy identity if all other Part 182 requirements are met.

C

Two witnesses with current government IDs are required.

D

A prior in-person appearance is required before any remote act may be performed.

Correct Answer

B. The notary's attestation of personal knowledge may itself satisfy identity if all other Part 182 requirements are met.

AI Explanation

Personal knowledge remains a valid identity route in remote acts. 19 NYCRR §182.5(d) says that, if all other requirements are met, an electronic notary's attestation that the individual is personally known to the notary is satisfactory evidence of identity. Unlike §182.5(c), this situation does not automatically require credential analysis and identity proofing.
