Correct Answer
B. A physical or electronic image of a seal must always accompany every electronic notarial act or the act is void.
Detailed 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.
