Electronic & Remote Online Notarization (RON)

During a remote act, the platform lets the notary and signer talk live but does not let the notary capture both sides of the ID card and does not preserve a tamper-evident record of changes. Which statement is correct?

A

The platform is acceptable because live audio alone is enough.

B

The platform is acceptable if the signer emails photos afterward.

C

The platform does not satisfy the communication-technology standards for electronic notarial acts.

D

The platform is acceptable if the notary knows the signer socially.

Correct Answer

C. The platform does not satisfy the communication-technology standards for electronic notarial acts.

Detailed Explanation

Communication technology must do more than support conversation. 19 NYCRR §182.8 requires sufficient live audio and visual clarity, the ability to view and capture the front and back of identification, secure transmission, and a reproduction process that leaves a record of additions, deletions, or changes. Importantly, personal knowledge of identity does not waive the platform standards themselves.
