Rule 17-2418 - STANDARDS FOR COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY

2418.1

Communication technology for remote notarial acts must provide for synchronous (i.e., existing or occurring at the same time) audio-visual feeds of sufficient audio clarity and video resolution to enable the notary public and remotely located individual to see and speak with each other. The process must provide a means for the notary public reasonably to confirm that an electronic record before the notary public is the same record in which the remotely located individual made a statement or on which the remotely located individual executed a signature.

2418.2

Communication technology must provide reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorized access to:

(a) The live transmission of the audio-visual feeds;

(b) The processes used to perform identify proofing; and

(c) If applicable, the electronic record that is the subject of the remote notarial act.

2418.3

If a remotely located individual must exit the identification verification process, the individual must restart the identify verification process required under Section 2417 from the beginning.
