Notary Public Exam Remote Online Notarization (RON) 3

Question 1

Which of the following documents is generally NOT eligible to be notarized via Remote Online Notarization in most jurisdictions?

Accepted Answer

I-9 employment eligibility verification forms

Answer

I-9 employment eligibility verification generally requires in-person physical inspection of original identity documents, making it unsuitable for RON in most circumstances.

Question 2

What is the primary difference between Remote Online Notarization (RON) and Remote Ink-signed Notarization (RIN)?

Accepted Answer

In RON, signing and notarization are completed electronically via audio-video; in RIN, the signer uses ink on paper and mails it to the notary

Answer

RON is a fully electronic process using audio-video technology for signing and notarization, while RIN involves the signer using ink on paper that is then physically sent to the notary for completion.

Question 3

If a notary's state has not yet enacted RON-enabling legislation, may the notary still perform RON using a federal authorization?

Accepted Answer

No, the notary must wait until their state enacts RON legislation and meet all state requirements

Answer

Notaries can only perform RON after their state has passed authorizing legislation and the notary meets all applicable state requirements; federal law alone does not authorize individual notaries to perform RON.

Question 4

What minimum equipment and documentation must a signer have to participate in a Remote Online Notarization session?

Accepted Answer

A device with a working camera and microphone, and a government-issued photo ID

Answer

For RON, the signer needs a device with audio-visual capability (camera and microphone) to facilitate the live session, and a government-issued photo ID for the identity verification process.

Question 5

If significant technical difficulties prevent clear audio-visual communication during a RON session, what is the notary's required course of action?

Accepted Answer

Stop the session and reschedule once the technical issues are resolved

Answer

If technical difficulties prevent clear audio-visual communication, the notary must stop the RON session to preserve the integrity of the process, as clear communication is a legal requirement.
