Allows and standardizes electronic and remote notarizations across state lines for transactions that occur in or affect interstate commerce while preserving many state powers to regulate notaries. It sets minimum federal rules for electronic signatures and remote notarizations (including signer identification and audio‑visual recording), requires courts and states to recognize valid out‑of‑state notarizations, and lets states adopt alternative rules if they meet specific conditions (including record retention). The law also protects notaries from being forced to perform electronic or remote notarizations and preserves remedies for fraud, incapacity, or other defects.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
