Solutions facilitating remote online notarization within the Commonwealth involve secure platforms, enabling notaries public to perform their duties via audio-visual technology. These systems authenticate the signer’s identity, record the session, and affix an electronic seal to the document, thereby creating a legally binding notarization. The application of these technologies is governed by specific state statutes and regulations.
The implementation of remote online notarization increases accessibility to essential services, particularly for individuals in remote areas or those with mobility limitations. It also provides increased efficiency, potentially reducing turnaround times and costs associated with traditional in-person notarizations. The development of this technology has evolved in response to the increasing need for secure and convenient methods of document authentication in the digital age, offering a streamlined approach while maintaining legal integrity.
