"-The CLTA made a great suggestion that notarizations occurring for signers located in CA should be restricted to CA notaries so that the DOJ, SOS and other agencies have jurisdiction and therefore prevent us from losing control of notarization in the state of CA by way of notary call centers on the east coast. This is another huge win for notaries and the consumer."
This should have been listed first, because without this, none of the rest matters. As long as state X allows remote notaries physically located in another state to perform notarizations for a signer located in state X, it's a race to the gutter. All notarizations will be performed in the place with the laxest regulations and oversight. Where do I think most remote notaries will be located, unless the above quoted requirement is enacted by every state? India.
