A Nevada electronic notary's technology vendor goes out of business. What should the notary do about pending remote notarizations?
Answer: Stop performing remote acts until an approved replacement solution is in place
Remote notarizations may only be performed through a compliant audio-visual technology, so the notary must secure an approved replacement before continuing.
Which statement about the electronic journal for remote notarizations is correct?
Answer: Each remote notarial act must be recorded in an electronic journal entry
Every remote notarial act must be documented in the electronic notary's electronic journal in addition to the audio-visual recording.
During a remote session, the video feed freezes before the signer signs. What is the proper action?
Answer: Restart the session and complete identity verification again before proceeding
The notarial act requires continuous, simultaneous audio-visual communication, so an interrupted session must be restarted with verification repeated.
What must a remote notarization certificate indicate about the notarial act?
Answer: That it was performed using audio-visual technology
The certificate must state that the notarial act was performed remotely using audio-visual communication technology.
May a Nevada electronic notary use identification verified by credential analysis if the signer's ID card fails the automated check?
Answer: No; the notary should not proceed if identity cannot be satisfactorily verified
If credential analysis or identity proofing fails, the notary must refuse to perform the remote notarization.
Which of the following is a valid alternative to credential analysis and KBA for identifying a remote signer?
Answer: The notary's personal knowledge of the signer
Personal knowledge of the signer, or oath of a credible witness, can satisfy identification without technological identity proofing.
What happens to a notary's electronic registration if the underlying traditional commission is revoked?
Answer: The authority to perform electronic and remote notarizations also ends
Electronic notary authority depends on an active underlying commission, so revocation terminates all notarial authority including electronic acts.
