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