Bill > S3533

This bill authorizes and establishes minimum standards for electronic and remote notarizations that occur in or affect interstate commerce. It requires federal courts and states to recognize notarizations performed by notaries public commissioned in other states when the notarization occurs in or affects interstate commerce or is related to a public act, record, or judicial proceeding. The bill also provides definitions for key terms like "notarization," "simultaneously," and "stamp or seal of office." Additionally, the bill outlines requirements for remote notarization, such as the ability of the notary and individual to communicate by sight and sound, and identification procedures. The bill preserves state laws governing the practice of law and does not require electronic or remote notarization.
