A remotely appearing individual not personally known to the notary may rely on identity verification alone.
A remotely appearing individual personally known to the notary may satisfy identity without credential analysis and identity proofing.
Correct Answer
C. A remotely appearing individual not personally known to the notary may rely on identity verification alone.
AI Explanation
Remote identity has an extra layer. 19 NYCRR §182.5(b) lists several identity-verification methods for physical appearances, but §182.5(c) requires a remotely appearing person who is not personally known to the notary to satisfy identity verification, credential analysis, and identity proofing. By contrast, §182.5(d) allows personal knowledge alone to serve as satisfactory evidence for an electronic notarial act if the other requirements are met.
