Correct Answer
C. Communication technology may omit capture of the back of an ID card so long as the front is visible.
Detailed Explanation
ID capture requirements are more specific than many users expect. 19 NYCRR §182.8(a)(2) requires sufficient visual clarity to enable the notary to view, read, and capture the front and back of any identification card presented. In contrast, a blurry one-sided display may be insufficient even if the parties can otherwise converse in real time.
