## Does Virginia accept it?

Virginia recognizes notarial acts from other states on paper or electronic documents (Va. Code §47.1-13.1). ([source](https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacodefull/title47.1/chapter3/)) 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](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2020/PL21/179_.HTM))

Virginia electronic notaries can also notarize by video.

## Real estate

For a recording, check with the circuit court clerk and title company.

## The certificate on a remote act

Virginia has its own certificate wording for a remote act (Handbook p. 14 (sample)). That governs Virginia notaries. Ours is a New Jersey certificate, and it states that the act was performed using communication technology, as New Jersey law requires ([N.J.S.A. 52:7-10.10(j)](https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2020/PL21/179_.HTM)). If your recipient wants a particular form, send it to us before the session.
