Question 2

What does it mean when a RON platform is described as using 'third-party identity proofing services'?

Question 3

If a signer presents a foreign passport as their government-issued ID for RON, what additional consideration applies?

Answer

The signer must translate the passport into English before the session

Question 4

What is the notary's obligation if they personally know the signer and can confirm their identity without KBA?

Accepted Answer

Most states still require the full KBA and credential analysis process regardless of personal knowledge

Answer

Personal knowledge of the signer is a valid substitute for KBA under all state RON laws

Answer

The notary may skip credential analysis but must still complete KBA

Answer

Personal knowledge allows the notary to bypass identity verification entirely with written documentation

Why is it critical that the signer's ID presented for credential analysis has not expired?

Expired IDs may not be accepted by the credential analysis software and could indicate a fraud risk

Answer

Expired IDs are automatically renewed by the RON platform

Credential analysis cannot read expired IDs due to outdated barcodes

Answer

State law always prohibits using expired IDs regardless of the circumstances
