What must a remotely located individual do if they exit the workflow during notarization?

The requirement for a remotely located individual to restart the identity verification process after exiting the workflow during notarization is rooted in security protocols and compliance regulations. When an individual exits the workflow, it typically interrupts the session and may leave the integrity of the transaction and identity verification in question.

Restarting the identity verification ensures that the notary can confirm the identity of the signer again before proceeding. This step is essential in maintaining the trust and legal validity of the notarization process, as any disruption might lead to potential risks of fraud or misidentification. Reinitiating the verification process upholds legal standards and protects both the notary and the signer, ensuring that all parties are adequately verified before the transaction can continue.

Options that suggest continuing where they left off, completing the notarization later, or contacting the notary for assistance do not address the critical need for re-verification of identity when there is a break in the process. These options might compromise the legal requirements for notarization and the security of the transaction.
