  3. A remotely located individual is not personally known to the notary. Which method satisfies New Mexico's identity verification requirement for RON?

    Answer: At least two forms of identity proofing, such as credential analysis plus knowledge-based authentication

    A credible witness must personally know the signer and must themselves be identified by the notary under the statute.
