What must a remote online notary public do if the technology fails to meet legal requirements?

When technology used for remote online notarization fails to meet legal requirements, the appropriate action for a remote online notary public is to cease performing remote online notarial acts and notify the attorney general. This is important to ensure compliance with legal standards and protect the integrity of the notarial process.

If the technology does not function properly or is not compliant with regulations, continuing to perform notarial acts could result in invalid transactions, legal liabilities, or issues related to the authenticity of the notarization. Therefore, stopping all notarial activities prevents potential legal repercussions and safeguards the interests of all parties involved. Notifying the attorney general indicates adherence to state regulations and reflects a commitment to maintaining standards within the notarial profession.
