Electronic & Remote Online Notarization (RON) 2026 Law Update

Regarding remote-audio-video retention rules, which statement is NOT correct?

A

An electronic notary must keep a recording of the audio-video conference used for a remote act for at least ten years.

B

An electronic notary must keep the journal or records required by Part 182 for the period set by regulation.

C

A remote electronic certificate should state that the person appeared through communication technology.

D

A remote audio-video recording may be discarded after two years if the certificate itself was recorded in the county clerk's office.

Correct Answer

D. A remote audio-video recording may be discarded after two years if the certificate itself was recorded in the county clerk's office.

AI Explanation

Remote recordings have a long retention rule. Executive Law §135-c(2)(b) requires the audio-video recording used to ascertain identity to be maintained for at least ten years, and the certificate should state appearance through communication technology under §135-c(5)(d). Unlike a short local filing retention period, the remote-recording period is expressly long.
