Easier Notarization: Remote and Electronic Document Authentication
This new law simplifies document authentication by introducing remote and electronic notarization. This means many tasks that previously required an in-person visit to a notary can now be handled online, saving time and money. The law also ensures that notarizations performed in one state will be recognized in others, facilitating interstate transactions.
Key points
Ability for notaries to authenticate documents remotely using video and audio technology.
Recognition of electronic and remote notarizations in federal courts and across states.
