How is consent typically obtained from signers before a Remote Online Notary session?

Consent is typically obtained from signers before a Remote Online Notary session using the electronic platform at the start of the session. This method is efficient and aligns with the procedures designed for remote notarization, ensuring all parties involved are aware of and agree to the terms of the session.

The electronic platform usually has built-in features that facilitate obtaining consent, such as prompts or boxes that require the signers to agree to the terms before proceeding. This functionality not only streamlines the process but also provides a clear digital record of the consent, which is essential for compliance with both state regulations and electronic notarization practices.

Obtaining consent this way is crucial for ensuring that signers understand they are participating in a remote notarization process, which may be different from traditional in-person notarizations. It fosters transparency and maintains the integrity of the process, reinforcing the legal standing of the notarized documents.
