Thank you again for signing the Petition that demonstrates your support for further clarification regarding Remote Online Notarizations in New York. 

As more notaries are making RON a part of their businesses, they are choosing an online platform that suits their business. They may have to switch platforms once the new regulations come out depending on how it is handled by NYS. In an effort to mitigate not having to make changes once a platform has been chosen and a contract has been signed, we are going to be adding this statement to the letter that NYNA is forwarding to the NY Secretary of State with all of your signatures: 

We would ask that the notary be allowed to choose the platform they wish to utilize if the platform meets the requirements set forth by the Division Of Licensing. Every notary has a different business model, and they should be allowed to use the technology best suited to their needs, as well as what they consider to be affordable. It would be difficult to begin utilizing a platform now and then must move to another if that platform isn't approved. They may have to break a contract, take their journal and videos with them and incur additional costs. Allowing multiple platforms gives greater freedom to the notary to better serve the consumer.

Thank you again for all of your support. Together we can make a difference!
