The current unfortunate situation with the coronavirus is an example of how technology could better serve the residents of Pennsylvania by completing important business transactions remotely.

In particular, by allowing remote online notarization, homebuyers could complete secure loan documents remotely. Even without situations at the coronavirus, the limitations with our existing laws may result in increased risk to the industry by hampering our ability to serve customers.

Due to this we are asking that you support state Sen. Doug Mastriano’s and state Rep. Lisa Culver’s proposed legislation that will lead to a significant modernization of the Notary Law by allowing user-friendly and secure methods for the electronic notarization of documents.
