North Carolina Delays Effective Date for Remote Electronic Notarization Act

Written By Era Williams

The effective date of the North Carolina Remote Electronic Notarization Act (“RENA”) has been delayed one year until July 1, 2024 to allow the Secretary of State additional time to promulgate

rules implementing the act. RENA also authorized the immediate use of emergency video notarization until the effective date of the permanent legislation. With the effective date of RENA postponed, the provisions allowing emergency video notarization have been extended and a statement indicating that the notarial certificate was executed according to the emergency video notarization requirements contained in G.S. 10B-25 will continue to be required.

For information regarding the process for emergency video notarization and updates on rulemaking, please visit the North Carolina Secretary of State’s website at NC Secretary of State Notary Information.
