In this episode you will learn:

- Arizona law mandates a separate, tamper-evident electronic journal exclusively for Remote Online Notarizations (RON).

- A RON journal entry must contain all standard notarial information plus the results of the identity verification process and a reference to the audio-visual recording.

- Commingling RON entries in your traditional paper journal is a violation of Arizona statutes and a common exam trap.

- Although RON platforms automate the journal creation, the notary is ultimately responsible for verifying the accuracy and completeness of every entry.

- Remember the key additions for RON journals with the mental shortcut: 'Recording, Identity, and Technology'.
