SECURE Notarization Act of 2025

Bill 119 hr 1777, also known as the "Electronic Notarization and Remote Notarization Act," aims to authorize notaries public to perform electronic notarizations and remote notarizations that occur in or affect interstate commerce. The bill also establishes minimum standards for these types of notarizations.

One key provision of the bill is that any Federal court must recognize notarizations performed by a notarial officer of any State. Additionally, any State is required to recognize notarizations performed by a notarial officer of any other State if the notarization was performed under or relates to a public Act, record, or judicial proceeding of the notarial officer's State, or if the notarization occurs in or affects interstate commerce.

Overall, the purpose of this bill is to streamline and standardize the notarization process, particularly in cases that involve interstate commerce. By allowing notaries public to perform electronic and remote notarizations, the bill aims to make the notarization process more efficient and accessible.
