  1. In North Dakota, remote online notarization (RON) requires the notary to use which of the following?

    Answer: Audio-video communication technology that allows real-time interaction

    North Dakota's RON framework requires real-time two-way audio-video communication between the notary and the remotely located principal.

  2. When a North Dakota notary performs a remote online notarization, how must the signer's identity be verified?

    Answer: Through knowledge-based authentication (KBA) and/or credential analysis

    ND RON requires electronic identity proofing methods such as KBA (dynamic questions about personal history) and/or credential analysis of the ID document.

  3. A North Dakota notary's stamp/seal is illegible on a notarized document. What is the most appropriate remedy?

    Answer: The notary may re-affix a legible seal and initial the change

    If a seal impression is unclear, the notary may re-stamp the document with a legible seal to correct the deficiency without requiring the full notarization to be repeated.

  4. What must a North Dakota notary do if their notarial seal is lost or stolen?

    Answer: Immediately notify the Secretary of State and stop performing notarial acts

    A lost or stolen seal must be reported to the Secretary of State promptly, and the notary should cease performing notarial acts until a replacement seal is obtained.

  5. Under North Dakota law, which of the following is the notary's responsibility when notarizing a power of attorney?

    Answer: Confirm the signer's identity, willingness, and competence, and complete the certificate correctly

    The notary's duty is limited to verifying identity, assessing awareness and voluntariness, and completing an accurate notarial certificate — not reviewing the document's legal validity.

  6. A North Dakota notary is asked to notarize a document for a person who communicates only through sign language. What should the notary do?

    Answer: Proceed using an interpreter or other reasonable accommodation

    A notary must make reasonable accommodations for signers with disabilities, including using a qualified sign language interpreter to facilitate communication.

  7. What is the purpose of the 'commission expiration date' that a North Dakota notary must include on every notarial certificate?

    Answer: To allow document recipients to verify the notary was commissioned at the time of the act

    Including the commission expiration date allows anyone relying on the document to confirm the notary held a valid commission when the notarization was performed.
