What must you indicate on your notary application if you wish to perform notarizations remotely?

When applying to perform notarizations remotely, it is essential to specify that you are applying for both a notary public and electronic notary commission. This designation is crucial because remote notarization involves the use of electronic tools and processes to complete notarizations, which is distinct from traditional notarization that occurs in-person. By indicating that you are seeking an electronic notary commission, you are demonstrating your intent and readiness to comply with the specific regulations and technology required for remote notarization. This is important for ensuring that all legal and procedural requirements are met, thus legitimizing your capacity to perform remote notarizations in accordance with Illinois law.
