Read the first 7 Remote Online Notarization (RON) flashcards as text

  1. A title company in Texas asks a New Mexico notary vacationing in Colorado to perform a RON for a New Mexico property. May the notary proceed?

    Answer: No, because a New Mexico notary must be physically within New Mexico when performing a notarial act

    RON changes where the signer may be, but the New Mexico notary must still be physically located in New Mexico when performing the act.

  2. What is the primary purpose of requiring tamper-evident technology on electronic records notarized via RON?

    Answer: To make any change to the record after notarization detectable

    Tamper-evident technology ensures that any alteration made after the notarial act is evident to anyone examining the record.

  3. A remote signer's two identity-proofing checks give conflicting results: KBA passes but credential analysis flags the ID as expired. The notary should:

    Answer: Not proceed, because an expired or invalid credential fails the identification requirement

    Identification generally requires a valid, unexpired (or recently expired only where allowed) credential, so a flagged invalid ID defeats satisfactory evidence of identity.

  4. How does a New Mexico notary certify a paper printout of an electronically notarized record (a 'papering out' or certified copy of the electronic record)?

    Answer: By certifying that the paper copy is an accurate copy of the electronic record, as allowed under RULONA

    RULONA allows a notary to certify that a tangible copy of an electronic record is an accurate copy, enabling recording of paper versions.

  5. During a RON session, a third person off-camera appears to be instructing the signer, who seems hesitant. The best course of action is to:

    Answer: Pause and question the signer privately about willingness, and refuse if coercion is suspected

    Notaries must ensure the signer acts willingly, and signs of coercion in a RON session require the notary to investigate or refuse.

  6. Which retention rule applies to a New Mexico notary's electronic journal entries for RON acts?

    Answer: They must be retained for the statutory period, currently 10 years, in a secure and accessible format

    New Mexico requires notarial journals and RON recordings to be securely retained for the 10-year statutory period.

  7. A RON platform offers to pre-fill and auto-complete the notary's certificate wording before the session. The notary should:

    Answer: Personally verify the certificate is accurate and complete for the act actually performed before executing it

    The notary is personally responsible for the truthfulness and completeness of every certificate, regardless of platform automation.
