The individual making the statement or executing the signature must appear personally before the notary public.
The notary public must have personal knowledge or satisfactory evidence of the identity of the individual.
For Remote Online Notarizations (RON) the use of state approved, secured, audio- visual electronic communication technology can take the place of the signer appearing physically in person before the notary.
