Every New York notary is required to perform electronic notarial acts upon request.
A business operating in New York may require all notarial transactions to be electronic only.
A remote online notarial certificate must state that the person appeared using communication technology.
A recording of the audio-video session is optional if the notary personally knows the signer.
Correct Answer
C. A remote online notarial certificate must state that the person appeared using communication technology.
AI Explanation
Executive Law §135-c and 19 NYCRR §182.4 require the electronic notarial certificate to state that the person appeared using communication technology. The law also says no notary or business may exclusively require electronic notarization, and no notary is compelled to perform it. Another tested contrast is that no business in New York may exclusively require notarial transactions to use electronic notarization.
