New rules make it easier for citizens to use notary services by allowing remote and electronic document notarization. This means many formalities can be completed without physically visiting a notary, saving time and improving access to services, especially for interstate transactions.
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.
