Correct Answer
C. A reliable electronic signature may be shared with office staff if all users are commissioned notaries.
AI Explanation
Electronic signature control must remain personal. Executive Law §135-c(5)(b) and 19 NYCRR §182.4(a)(5)-(6) require a reliable electronic signature to be unique, independently verifiable, under the notary’s sole control, and alteration-evident. Unlike a shared office credential, the notary’s designated electronic signature cannot be shared or used by staff.
