Creates national rules for electronic and remote notarization and tells courts and states to recognize valid notarizations done under these rules or under a state’s own law. It sets minimum identity‑proofing, audio‑video recording, and tamper‑evident technology standards, while explicitly letting states continue to regulate notaries and adopt their own compatible frameworks.

People can appear by secure video instead of in person, and that counts as appearing before a notary for transactions in or affecting interstate commerce. The bill protects consumers from deceptive notary advertising (like claiming to provide legal or immigration services), preserves existing remedies for fraud or incapacity, and does not force any notary to use electronic tools or perform remote notarizations.
