The principal personally, by uploading an ID image alone
The online notary alone, without any outside provider
A third-party service provider that has provided evidence of its ability to satisfy the rule
Any witness who knows the signer
Correct Answer
C. A third-party service provider that has provided evidence of its ability to satisfy the rule
AI Explanation
Credential analysis is outsourced under the rule, not improvised by the notary. 19 NYCRR §182.6(a) requires credential analysis to be performed by a third-party service provider that has provided evidence to the online notary public of the provider's ability to satisfy the rule. For contrast, personal knowledge may satisfy identity in some cases under §182.5(d), but that is different from who performs credential analysis.
