Who decides in Vermont
We didn't find an official Vermont page that adds requirements for out-of-state or electronic notarizations. That isn't a promise there are none. The town clerk, agency, court or company receiving your document decides what it accepts, so ask them before you book.
Vermont's own online notaries
Vermont's own notaries could notarize for remotely located individuals from July 1, 2022 (26 V.S.A. §5379). (source) That's context: it governs Vermont notaries, not ours.
