What is required for an electronic notarization?

A physical signature
An electronic signature and seal approved by the Secretary of State
Video recording of the notarization
Approval from a supervisor

The correct answer is: An electronic signature and seal approved by the Secretary of State

To perform an electronic notarization, it is essential to have an electronic signature and a seal that has been specifically approved by the Secretary of State. This requirement ensures that the notarization is recognized as valid and complies with legal standards. The use of an electronic signature along with an approved seal allows the notary to provide secure and verifiable evidence of the notarization process. While other options may involve elements that could be part of the notarization process, such as video recording or oversight by a supervisor, they are not mandatory requirements for electronic notarization in Illinois. Thus, having the appropriate electronic signature and seal is the critical factor that legitimizes the notarization electronically.
