What must a RON do to comply with relevant statutes regarding technology use?

To comply with relevant statutes regarding technology use, a Remote Online Notary (RON) must confirm that all technologies utilized in the application meet compliance standards. This includes ensuring that the technology used for the notarization process adheres to legal requirements and industry best practices that govern digital transactions and electronic signatures.

Compliance standards generally cover aspects such as the security of the transmission of documents, the identity verification procedures, and the integrity of the notarial act itself. By confirming compliance, the notary safeguards the legality of the transactions performed and protects the interests of all parties involved. This is essential for maintaining the integrity of the notarial process in a remote environment.

While ensuring that digital certificates are valid is an important part of the process, it is a subset of the broader requirement to verify that all technologies comply with relevant standards. The requirement for using only hardware manufactured in the last five years or obtaining approval from third-party vendors does not broadly capture the essence of compliance with statutes, which focus more on overall technology standards rather than specific hardware or vendor relationships.
