The bill would authorize the use of remote online notarization and create national standards and protections for its use.
“The remote online notary legislation will benefit consumers by standardizing requirements across the country and allowing easier access to vital services and transactions that require notary services,” said CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle in a statement. “CUNA and the leagues look forward to keeping this bill moving forward.”
