Does New York accept it?
The state amended Real Property Law §299-a in 2024 so that a certificate of conformity is no longer required when a notary in another state takes an acknowledgment. (source) New Jersey law treats an online notarization by a New Jersey notary as performed in New Jersey, wherever the signer is. (N.J.S.A. 52:7-10.10)
New York notaries can also notarize remotely under Executive Law §135-c.
Real estate
For a deed or mortgage, ask the county clerk and your title company before you sign. The 2024 change removed the old certificate-of-conformity step for most out-of-state acknowledgments.
