This includes keeping the audio-video recording of the notarization for at least 10 years. If a public notary complies with these standards, the personal appearance requirement is deemed satisfied. The bill also provides that a county recorder may accept a tangible copy of the electronic record, if a notarial officer certifies that the copy is accurate.
