If otherwise required by law as a condition for recording, an electronic signature may satisfy a signature requirement for an electronic record.
A physical or electronic image of a seal must always accompany every electronic notarial act or the act is void.
A notary may certify that a tangible copy of the signature page and document type of a remotely notarized electronic record is an accurate copy.
A recording officer shall accept a certified tangible copy of an otherwise recordable electronic record when statutory conditions are met.
Correct Answer
B. A physical or electronic image of a seal must always accompany every electronic notarial act or the act is void.
AI Explanation
Electronic recording rules do not always require a separate seal image. Executive Law §135-c(6)(c) states that a physical or electronic image of a stamp or seal need not accompany an electronic signature if the notary has attached an electronic notarial certificate meeting statutory requirements. For contrast, a tangible copy certification under §135-c(6)(d) is a separate paper-side procedure.
