Read the first 6 Electronic and Remote Notarization Rules flashcards as text

  1. Under Hawaii RON rules, can a RON notary perform the notarization if the KBA (knowledge-based authentication) fails?

    Answer: No — failure of the KBA component means the identity verification is not satisfied and the RON cannot proceed

    KBA is a required component of RON identity verification. If KBA fails, the identity verification is incomplete and the RON cannot proceed.

  2. A Hawaii RON notary completes a session but later discovers the RON technology platform was not on the state-approved list. What is the likely consequence?

    Answer: The notarization may be invalid, and the notary faces potential disciplinary action for using an unapproved platform

    Using an unapproved RON platform violates Hawaii law and could invalidate the notarization and subject the notary to discipline.

  3. In Hawaii RON, who is responsible for retaining the audio-video recording — the notary or the technology platform?

    Answer: The responsibility depends on the contractual arrangement with the RON platform, but the notary remains ultimately responsible for compliance

    While RON platforms typically store recordings, the notary retains legal responsibility for ensuring the required records are kept for the required period.

  4. Can a Hawaii RON notary notarize a document for a signer who does not have a webcam or internet access?

    Answer: No — RON requires audio-visual (both audio and video) communication between the notary and signer

    RON requires real-time audio-visual (both audio and video) communication — audio-only or photo-based alternatives do not meet RON requirements.

  5. A Hawaii notary who is RON-registered moves their office from Honolulu to Maui. What must they do regarding their RON registration?

    Answer: Update their address with the DCCA — RON registration is statewide, not county-specific

    RON registration (like the notary commission itself) is statewide. The notary needs only to update their address with the DCCA.

  6. A signer for a Hawaii RON session is a non-English speaker. How should the notary handle the session?

    Answer: Proceed with an interpreter present via audio-visual connection if the notary cannot communicate directly with the signer

    An interpreter may participate in a RON session via audio-visual connection to facilitate communication between the notary and a non-English-speaking signer.
