South Carolina Notary Public Knowledge Assessment

The signer must be in the same room as the notary, even though the signing and sealing happens electronically. The signer can be located anywhere in the world as long as they appear before the notary via a live audio-video feed. The notary and signer must be physically located within the borders of South Carolina but can be in different cities. An 'in-person' electronic notarization allows the signer's identity to be verified by a trusted third party over the phone.
