A title company asks the notary to email an unencrypted copy of the electronic journal covering all clients. The notary should:
Answer: Refuse; journal access must follow legal procedures and protect other entries
The electronic journal must be safeguarded, and disclosure is limited to lawful requests for specific entries rather than wholesale release.
What security duty does the notary have over the electronic signature and seal credentials?
Answer: Keep them under the notary's sole control and report theft or compromise
The electronic signature and seal must remain under the notary's exclusive control, and any loss or compromise must be reported promptly.
During a remote session, the signer's ID passes credential analysis but the face on camera clearly does not match the ID photo. The notary should:
Answer: Decline to proceed because visual comparison failed
The notary must be personally satisfied of the signer's identity, and a mismatch between the person and the credential requires refusal.
A Nevada electronic notary moves permanently to California but keeps a Nevada mailing service address. May they continue remote notarizations?
Answer: No; they no longer meet Nevada's residency/location requirements for performing acts within the state
A notary who no longer resides in Nevada and is not physically in the state cannot lawfully perform Nevada remote notarizations.
Which record types must a remote notarization platform's audio-visual technology support?
Answer: Continuous, simultaneous sight and sound communication between notary and signer
The technology must allow real-time, two-way sight and sound interaction throughout the notarial act.
After completing a remote notarization of an electronic deed, how can the county recorder accept it for recording?
Answer: Electronically, or via a certified paper copy (papered-out version) of the electronic record
Electronically notarized records can be recorded electronically or through a certified tangible copy of the electronic original.
A notary's employer demands the electronic journal and recordings when the notary quits the job. The correct response is:
Answer: Keep them; the journal and recordings belong to the notary, not the employer
The notarial journal and related records are the property and responsibility of the notary even when the employer funded the tools.
