Ensuring Legally Compliant Notarization: Key Steps for Remote Online Sessions

COLUMBUS, OH, UNITED STATES, April 3, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In the wake of the rising trend of Remote Online Notarization, concerns about fraud have also heightened. It is crucial for individuals to ascertain the legitimacy of their notarization sessions. Here are the essential steps to ensure a legally compliant notarization process:

1. Verification of Notary Credentials: The notary should provide a means for you to search their name on the state's notary portal to confirm their authorization for remote or electronic notarization services, as per state-specific terms and regulations.

2. Identity Verification: During the session, you must undergo identity verification. This could involve answering five random questions about your life, providing your ID for platform verification, or validating through biometric means such as facial recognition. These processes also will vary based upon the commissioned state of the notary, not your physical location at the time of the session. In some instances, a verification by credible witness may also be accepted.

3. Secured Video Session: The session must occur on a secured video platform provided by the notarization platform. Utilizing platforms like Teams or FaceTime is not legally permissible for notarization purposes.

4. Display of ID on Camera: You must display your ID to the notary during the video session. Statements confirming your voluntary participation and potentially an oath may also be required.

5. Use of Electronic Signatures: Both you and the notary should utilize electronic signatures, with the notary affixing an electronic stamp to the document requiring notarization.

6. Document Security: Upon completion of the session, you should receive a software file of your document. When opened in Adobe Sign, the document should be locked, with a signature panel visible.

Following these steps ensures that your notarization process meets all legal requirements. Although regulations may vary from state to state, the core principles of remote online notarization remain consistent nationwide.
