Correct Answer
C. A remote online notarial certificate must state that the person appeared using communication technology.
Detailed 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.
