Remotely notarized documents

The county site we checked does not mention remote online notarization.

The Clerk says documents can be mailed or delivered, left in the lobby drop box, or brought in person.

New York online notarization rules

Can New York notaries notarize online? Yes. N.Y. Exec. Law § 135-c (electronic notarization, in effect since Jan 31, 2023 per NY DOS).

NY DOS: up to $25 per electronic notarial act.

Online notarizations from other states: New York recognizes online notarizations that are properly performed by notaries of other states. N.Y. Real Prop. Law § 299.

What you'll need to record it

1. The notarized document itself. An online notarization produces an electronic document. If you record on paper, you'll need a paper copy; ask the Nassau County Clerk what it accepts.
2. Recording fees. Fees are set by the county and state and change; check the current fee schedule on the official Nassau County Clerk site before you submit.
3. Any required state forms for your document type (for example, transfer or property-tax forms for deeds). The county site lists what it requires.
4. Confirmation the recipient accepts it. The receiving office or party decides whether to accept a remotely notarized document. If unsure, call the office before your notary session.
