Louisiana Notary Public Exam — All Questions

When performing a remote authentic act in Louisiana, the notary must still:

• a.Ignore witness rules
• b.Satisfy the underlying act's formalities, such as witness requirements, plus identity-proofing and an A/V recording✓
• c.Skip identity checks
• d.Avoid keeping records

Even when Louisiana authorizes remote/electronic notarization, the formalities of the underlying act—including witness requirements for authentic acts—still apply, along with approved identity-proofing, credential analysis, and a retained audio-video recording. This makes remote authentic acts more complex than a simple acknowledgment.

A Louisiana notary performing an electronic notarization must use:

• a.A tamper-evident electronic seal/signature and approved identity verification✓
• b.Any home scanner
• c.No technology standards
• d.A paper stamp only

Electronic notarization requires a tamper-evident electronic seal and signature, approved identity-proofing/credential analysis, and retention of required records (including audio-video for remote acts). The notary must follow the current Secretary of State rules and any limits on which acts may be done remotely.
