A party to the notarized document

Question 3

A RON notary switches from one technology platform to another. What should occur with the recordings from sessions performed on the old platform?

Accepted Answer

The recordings must remain accessible and preserved for the full retention period on the original or transferred storage

How does RON electronic journal recordkeeping typically differ from a traditional paper notary journal?

Accepted Answer

RON journals must capture the identity proofing method used, which has no paper equivalent

A chronological electronic record of all actions taken during and around a RON session
