Text messaging only is sufficient if saved.
It must permit simultaneous live sight-and-sound throughout the act.
Audio only is enough if the signer uploads ID first.

Correct Answer
B. It must permit simultaneous live sight-and-sound throughout the act.
Detailed Explanation
Communication technology must support a live real-time session. 19 NYCRR §182.8(a)(1) requires sufficient audio and visual clarity so the notary and signer can see and speak to each other simultaneously throughout the act. Unlike a prerecorded clip or text exchange, the rule demands live interaction from identity steps through completion.
