Document Updates: New Hampshire Notarial Requirements for RON

New Hampshire Senate Bill 134 enacts the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts, including provisions for notarizations on electronic records and for remotely located individuals which take effect on February 6, 2022. Amongst other changes, this amends N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 456-B, by inserting after Section 6 the following new § 456-B:6-a for Notarial Act Performed for Remotely Located Individuals.
