I would like to see the article you refer to because sorry to say and no offense intended, I find this entire thread to be a lot of sensationalism without substance.
No one is going to hide the identity of a signer from the notary.
The TC, bank, platform, whoever is requesting the notarization will have a third party ID verifier. Just like we already do, ie, credit reports, bank transactions, credit requests, etc. It makes perfect sense that we will not see the details of this process. We will get the approval of that ID verification so we can move forward with our own identification of the signer per our state laws.
You VA notaries probably have a better sense than most of how many real estate transactions are done remotely. I don’t recall hearing of that happening so much and I must admit I do not search this out as I am not too concerned about it. Remote signing is far off for Oregon and I will be retired by then so I see no need to get my panties in a bunch.
Be that as it may, we now have 5 states with laws allowing, or in process of implementing, remote notarizations. Just because the laws have changed to allow remote signing does not mean it will happen right away. The powers that be must figure out the logistics and find dollars needed to make it happen. Then they have to get the public on board.
However, at some point it will happen. I supposed depending on your age and how much longer you intend to work will determine if you should look to a different career or get back to marketing for today’s business.
