Part of the changes included the addition of the statement: “This notarial act involved the use of communication technology” to notary acknowledgements for remote online notarizations (RON). The following documents have been modified to append this statement for RON loans: - - AK Deed of Trust (Cx308) - AK Deed of Trust Second (Cx467) - HELOC Deed of Trust – AK (Cx1344) - FHA AK Deed of Trust(Cx19359) In addition, Hawaii recently made some changes to their notary laws. Among these changes are also some applicable to remote online notarizations (RON). Consequently, the following documents have been modified to remove the phrase “enabled by emergency order” as outlined in the new RON requirements: - - HI Mortgage (Cx320) - HI Mortgage Second (Cx478) - HELOC Mortgage – HI (Cx2411) - FHA HI Mortgage (19369) In addition to the AK and HI state-specific documents mentioned above, the following multi-state documents have been changed for both Alaska and Hawaii: - - Compliance Agreement (Cx4) - Occupancy Statement (Cx15) - Manufactured Home Affixation Affidavit (Cx43) - Signature/Name Affidavit (Cx865) - Loan Modification Agreement – Fixed (Cx1701) - Manufactured Home Limited Power of Attorney (Cx6874) - Signature/Name Affidavit (NPE) (Cx7965) - HomeStyle Renovation Loan Rider (Cx22294) - HomeStyle Renovation Loan Agreement (Cx22295) - FNMA Construction Loan Agreement (Cx22651) - FNMA Construction Loan Rider to Security Instrument (Cx22653) - Community Land Trust Ground Lease Rider (Cx23607) The changes will take effect immediately.  Questions or concerns about these changes should be directed to Client Support at 1.800.497.3584. *Alaska: DR 334182* *Hawaii: DR 334786* [Return to Blog](https://compliance.docutech.com) ### Stay informed. --- Subscribe to emails to get notified when new content is published. ### Category / Topics [Document Updates](https://compliance.docutech.com/tag/document-updates) ### Recent Posts #### [Document Updates: Wyoming Notice and Explanation of Fee Increase (TRID)(Cx19752) and Wyoming Notice and Explanation of Fee Increase (Cx16634)](https://compliance.docutech.com/document-updates-wyoming-notice-and-explanation-of-fee-increase-tridcx19752-and-wyoming-notice-and-explanation-of-fee-increase-cx16634) Dec 31, 2020 #### [Document Updates: New Jersey Notarial Certificate](https://compliance.docutech.com/document-updates-new-jersey-notarial-certificate) Dec 31, 2020 #### [Document Updates: MD Loan Commitment (Cx4174) and MD Financing Agreement (Cx2171)](https://compliance.docutech.com/document-updates-md-loan-commitment-cx4174-and-md-financing-agreement-cx2171) Dec 31, 2020 The preceding is for informational purposes only and is not and may not be construed as legal advice.
