Electronic and Remote Notarization Legislative Updates

Pem Guerry, executive vice president of SIGNiX, recently wrote an article for Law Technology Today about legislative updates for electronic and remote notarization. His article provides a detailed list of several states that are enacting laws to support this technology and explains how e-notarization came about. In the article, he said:

“It all started in 2011 when the state of Virginia introduced the Electronic Notaries Act. This law made e-notarizations and remote, or online, notarizations possible by enabling signers from anywhere in the world to appear live before a commissioned notary public on a screen—via Skype, Facetime, or another audio-video teleconference option—and get a document notarized.”
