## Udaljena internetska javnobilježnička ovjera

- Doneseno, ali još nije na snazi — a datum stupanja na snagu ovisi o dodatnim uvjetima.
- **Pravna osnova:** Online Notarization Act added by SB 696 (Ch. 291, Stats. 2023); operative on the earlier of January 1, 2030 or the date the Secretary of State certifies completion of its technology project (NAP 2.0). Current SOS handbook (2026): "current California Law does not provide the authority for California notaries to perform a remote online notarization using audio-video communication."
- **Što mora registrirati osoba ovlaštena za ovjeru:** Will be required when operative — "A notary public shall not provide online notarization for any principal prior to registration with the Secretary of State or prior to completion of the Secretary of State's technology project" (Gov. Code § 8231(b))
- **Kako se utvrđuje identitet potpisnika:** When operative: credential analysis plus identity proofing performed at least at Identity Assurance Level 2 per NIST SP 800-63A (June 2017) (Gov. Code §§ 8231.3(a)(5), 8231.9); personal knowledge plus oath/identification elements also referenced in § 8231.9. Until then, no remote identity-proofing regime exists
- **Standardna javnobilježnička radnja:** $15.00 USD
- Za udaljena radnja ovdje nije zabilježena najviša naknada. Nedostatak gornje granice nije isto što i „nema granice” — razlog je u bilješkama u nastavku.
- **Iz izvora:** Max RON fee not yet set — SB 696 establishes no RON-specific dollar cap; fee treatment pending SOS rules (unverified). Standard fees, Gov. Code § 8211: acknowledgment $15 per signature; jurat $15 per signature; oath/affirmation $15; deposition services $30 plus $7 (oath to witness) and $7 (certificate to deposition); certifying copy of power of attorney $15; immigration forms $15 per individual per set. Out-of-state notarizations (including RON performed lawfully in other states) are generally recognized for acknowledgments under Civ. Code § 1189(b) (unverified on SOS page); SB 696 will require audio-video recording, electronic journal, separate online-notary surety bond when operative

## Što izvor još navodi

SOS also holds periodic county-partnered "Apostille Pop-Up Shop" events (e.g., Kern County 2026, San Diego County 2024)

> **RCW 42.45.230(5):** Nisam odvjetnik ovlašten za obavljanje pravne djelatnosti u ovoj saveznoj državi. Nije mi dopušteno sastavljati pravne isprave, davati savjete o pravnim pitanjima, uključujući imigracijska, niti naplaćivati naknadu za te aktivnosti.
