Personally, I see "industry acceptance" and consumer (even notary acceptance, to some degree) Acceptance as two different issues. When an industry gets so big for its britches that it bullies people into buying and selling, etc. through electronic means, then we've got way bigger things to worry about than RON. VA has been in this space for over a decade now and so far no one is being forced to adapt. Like, when will everyone have a DIGITAL Signature*??? Fortunately, even during a pandemic willing (and brave) NPs can be found!
(Know there is a dying generation that does no online banking AND still writes checks . . . but I actually recently filled in a coupon with pen/ink & mailed a *Check* to AARP for new membership.) Lol 
*Not to be confused with an Electronic signature |
