NH Notary Signer Identification Flashcards

Can a NH notary notarize a document for a minor (under 18)?

Answer: Yes, if the minor is the signer and has acceptable ID, though parental consent may be needed for legal documents

Minors can appear before a notary, but their capacity to enter contracts and execute legal documents is governed by NH law and may require additional considerations.

When a NH notary performs a remote online notarization (RON), how is signer identity verified?

Answer: Through credential analysis, knowledge-based authentication (KBA), and audio-visual technology

NH RSA 455-G requires RON identity verification through credential analysis and knowledge-based authentication in addition to the audio-visual session.

For NH remote online notarizations, what happens if the signer fails the knowledge-based authentication (KBA)?

Answer: The notary must decline to perform the notarization remotely

If KBA fails, the identity proofing requirement is not met and the notary must refuse to proceed with the remote notarization.
