AI Explanation

Part 182 uses specialized terminology. 19 NYCRR §182.2(j) defines identity proofing as a process by which a credential service provider collects, validates, and verifies information about a person. Unlike simple identity verification by the notary, identity proofing is a third-party process used for certain remote electronic acts.
