Electronic notarization and penalties — free practice questions
2 sample questions · answers & explanations
Part 182 in full — registration, technology standards, identity proofing, ten-year records — plus the criminal exposure. These are the questions the app shows a non-premium user for this part. The full bank carries 50 practice questions here plus 30 in the mock pool, each written from the Notary Public License Law booklet published by the New York Department of State and carrying the verbatim provision it tests.
What must a New York notary do before performing electronic notarial acts?
Why: Section 182.4(a)(1) adds registration on top of the ordinary requirements of section 182.3. The electronic capability is an add-on to an existing commission, not a separate one.
Where must an electronic notary be physically located while performing an electronic notarial act?
Why: Section 182.4(a)(3) requires the notary to be inside New York, even though the principal may be elsewhere. Paragraph (4) then requires a location-detecting network so the requirement can be verified.
