Alaska · AS 44.50.075, 44.50.078Alaska remote online notarization: the identity check, the recording and the paper journal

A notary public located in Alaska may perform a notarial act using communication technology for a remotely located individual if the notary has personal knowledge of the individual's identity, satisfactory evidence from a credible witness, or satisfactory evidence from a government-issued identification card, a credential analysis of that card, and at least one type of identity proofing; can reasonably confirm the record is the same one the individual signed; and creates an audiovisual recording of the act (AS 44.50.075(b)). A signer outside the United States may use it if the record relates to a matter before a U.S. court or government entity, or involves property in the United States or a transaction substantially connected with it, and signing isn't prohibited where the signer is (44.50.075(b)(4)). The certificate must state that the act was performed using communication technology – "This notarial act involved the use of communication technology" is sufficient (44.50.075(c)). The recording is kept at least ten years unless a regulation sets a different period, and before the first remote act the notary notifies the lieutenant governor and identifies the technologies it will use (44.50.075(d)–(e)). The notary keeps a journal of remote notarial acts for ten years after the last entry, including at least one journal on a tangible medium (44.50.078(a)–(b)).
