Analysis
New laws allowing Notaries to perform a new copy certification in which the Notary certifies that a paper printout of an electronically notarized document is a true and correct copy are increasingly being enacted in legislatures across the country. These new laws are necessary because two-thirds of all states now all remote online notarization and not all land recording offices across the country can accept electronic records. Thus, these new copy certification laws accommodate those recording offices that have not yet implemented electronic recording. Assembly Bill 325 makes Nevada the twenty-seventh state to enact such a statute.
