California Passes Remote Online Notarization Bill
This post is adapted from a detailed update on the new SB 696 bill in our Compliance Edge publication authored by Gavin T. Ales, Chief Compliance Officer at DocMagic.
On Saturday, September 30th, the California governor signed a bill into law, SB 696, that paves the way for legalization of remote online notarizations (RON) by California notaries. The groundbreaking piece of legislation has stipulations to review the technological requirements for RON, study laws of other states governing remote notarization, and determine appropriate regulations and rules necessary to enable the conduct of remote notarizations.
However, what sets this legislation apart is its forward-looking approach, with its full scope perhaps not becoming effective until years after its passage.
DocMagic will continue to monitor developments on remote notarizations in California as the Secretary of State’s office proceeds through the steps for completing the required Technology Project.
