Secured Signing’s RON is Compliant for New York Businesses

Secured Signing, a premier provider of electronic signature and remote online notarization (RON) solutions, is proud to announce its recognition as one of the first compliant platforms under the New York Remote Online Notarization (RON) statute.

This regulation, 19 NYCRR, Chapter V, Subchapter E, Part 182, went into effect on January 25, 2023.

 

Meeting the Challenges of New York RON Requirements

The updated requirements for Remote Online Notarization present unique technical challenges for both independent and in-house enterprise New York notaries. Secured Signing’s platform addresses these regulatory hurdles by offering specific, high-security features designed for compliance.

1. Accurate Geolocation and Notary Affirmation

Secured Signing’s system reviews the user’s browser to determine true geolocation rather than relying on a VPN. A critical addition to the workflow is a mandatory popup affirmation that must be selected by the notary prior to beginning the RON session.

This affirmation, recorded in the audit log, confirms that the notary is physically located within the State of New York during the session.

By providing both evidence and intent to comply, the platform ensures that the notary, the enterprise, and the New York licensing bureau can remain confident in the integrity of the transaction.

2. High-Level Identity Verification (IAL2)

To meet New York’s rigorous security standards, Secured Signing complies with the NIST Standard SP 800-63-3 for remote identity verification.

By utilizing a unique combination of identity valuations, the platform achieves Identity Assurance Level 2 (IAL2), the gold standard for verifying signers in a remote environment.

3. Streamlined Exemplar Certificate Issuance

The New York Exemplar certification document provided by Secured Signing allows notaries to seamlessly complete the required forms for their electronic notary commission. This ensures that the transition to digital notarization is fully documented and in compliance with state regulations.
