Key points
Ability for notaries to perform remote notarizations using video and audio technology.
Nationwide recognition of electronic notary signatures and remotely notarized documents.
Requirement to record and store recordings of remote notarial acts for security and verification.
Facilitation of notary services for individuals located outside the U.S. if the matter relates to the U.S.
