Hawaii Notary Public Exam — All Questions

When Hawaii authorizes a remote notarization, the notary must still:

• a.Skip identity checks
• b.Verify identity by the required process and retain the audio-video recording✓
• c.Avoid keeping records
• d.Ignore the certification number

Even for authorized remote acts, the Hawaii notary must verify identity through the required process (credential analysis and identity proofing or personal knowledge), retain the audio-video recording, and still meet the certificate and certification-number requirements. Record-keeping continues to apply.

Hawaii's strict record-keeping duty, for electronic and remote acts, means the notary must:

• a.Keep no records
• b.Delete recordings
• c.Keep the required record and retain any required audio-video recording✓
• d.Share recordings publicly

Hawaii's mandatory record-keeping extends to electronic and remote acts, including retention of any required audio-video recording. Because Hawaii emphasizes records so heavily, e-notary recordkeeping is central. Confirm current AG rules on remote acts.
