On January 31, 2023, notaries wishing to provide remote notary services must register with the Department of State as an electronic notary.  On this date, regulations will go into effect placing additional requirements on remote notary services and providing for additional standards relating to a notary’s use of an electronic signature.  Additional information will be posted here once the regulations have been proposed and adopted.

A copy of the proposed rules can be found at this link:
