Section 07I .0102 - DEFINITIONS

The definitions in this Rule apply to this Subchapter:

(1) "Canceled act" means an instance where a notary public or a principal begins the notarial transaction process and halts it for any reason. Note: An example of a canceled act would be one where the notary is not able to establish the identity of the signer as required by G.S. 10B-20.

(2) "Journal" means a record of notarial acts that is created and maintained by a notary public in compliance with Chapter 10B of the General Statutes and the rules in this Subchapter.

(3) "Mode of notarial act" means a traditional notarization, an electronic notarization, or a remote electronic notarization.

(4) "Supplemental information" means information that a notary public enters into a journal:

(a) as a separate entry that is not for a notarial act;

(b) that relates to a prior notarial act recorded in the journal; and

(c) that may be appended to the prior notarial act entry in the electronic journal.

Note: An entry six months after the initial committed entry stating that the notary public received a subpoena for that initial committed journal entry is an example of supplemental information.
