Co Chair: Joseph H. Alhadeff
The Division's Cybernotary Subcommittee continues to work
towards its goal of creating an enhanced notarial profession in the United States to
support secure electronic commerce.
The committee has focused its efforts on defining the scope
of electronic notarial practice, setting qualification criteria, and working with
individuals and organizations to ensure acceptance of CyberNotarial acts in the U.S. and
abroad. To date, the Cybernotary Subcommittee's members represent the notarial bars of
Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Quebec, Puerto Rico, United Kingdom, and the United
States, as well as the International Union of Latin Notaries and the International Section
of the American Bar Association.
The Cybernotary Subcommittee is working closely with the
International Section's Notaire Task Force regarding acceptance of enhanced notarial acts
under the North American Free Trade Agreement. It is also providing guidance to the
Secretary of State of the State of Florida, who is sponsoring legislation in Florida to
create an enhanced notarial practitioner under Florida law. The Cybernotary Subcommittee has
been given observer status on the International Union of Latin Notaries' Committee on
Electronic Legal Issues, to assist that body in setting global standards for electronic
notarial practice and to promote acceptance abroad of the acts of U.S. CyberNotaries.
