RON RON Signer Identity Verification 3

Question 1

Which federal law governs the privacy protections applicable to the personal data collected during RON identity verification?

Accepted Answer

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) for financial data

Answer

Personal data collected during KBA and credential analysis may be subject to the GLBA and FCRA when it involves financial or consumer reporting data, along with applicable state privacy laws.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

The platform integrates with external vendors that specialize in KBA and credential analysis technology

Answer

Third-party identity proofing services are specialized technology vendors that RON platforms integrate with to perform KBA, credential analysis, and other identity verification functions.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Some states allow foreign passports while others require a U.S.-issued ID; the notary must know their state's specific requirements

Answer

State RON laws vary on whether foreign passports are acceptable, with some states explicitly listing accepted ID types — the notary must comply with their state's specific requirements.

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

Unlike in-person notarization where personal knowledge can substitute for ID verification, most RON laws mandate technology-based identity proofing regardless of personal acquaintance.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

Credential analysis systems are designed to flag expired IDs because they may not meet the current security features required for verification and could signal an attempt to use an outdated or fraudulent document.
