Background
North Carolina-commissioned notaries public are not currently authorized to perform remote online notarization. However, on July 8, 2022, the governor signed House Bill 776, permanently authorizing notaries public commissioned in the state to remotely notarize electronic documents as of January 1, 2023. Please visit the North Carolina Secretary of State website for more information.
In the meantime, notaries public in other states likely can perform remote online notarization for North Carolina residents and documents. Please visit the North Carolina Secretary of State website for more information.
