The American Land Title Association (ALTA) developed principles for notarizations conducted remotely, outlining guidelines to give consumers digital technology options for notarizations that incorporate safeguards to reduce fraud and protect property rights of consumers. In addition, the principles state that any remote notarization must meet certain criteria to provide confidence in the transfer of real estate.
