[WSBAPT] Question about remote notary

[nestor at pplsweb.com]

Quite frankly, when he issued this executive order, I thought there is no way this can be implemented in such a short time for this brief window of use. Unless I am mistaken, did the Department of Licensing’s Notary Public unit approve companies and their platform? Are procedure in place and notaries approved and trained in these platforms?

 

To me this was a well-intentioned knee jerk reaction not carefully thought out.

You also need a special license from the state specifically for electronic notarization, which requires special software.

Governor issued order advancing to effective date to now. However if I recall correctly it was only through April 26th. Might be wrong on that.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Question about remote notary 

 

Are remote notarizations (e.g. via teleconferencing, etc.) allowed under Washington State law, and if so, can someone please provide me a cite or link to the authorization?  I found RCW 42.45.280, which allows remote notarizations, but unfortunately, that statute does not take effect until October.

 

Thanks,

John
