In remote online notarization, how is the audio-video session typically handled afterward?

In remote online notarization, the two-way audio-video session is generally recorded, and the notary (or the platform on the notary's behalf) must retain that recording for a period set by state law — often several years. The recording, along with the electronic journal entry, serves as evidence that the remote notarization was performed properly, including how the signer's identity was verified. Retention requirements and security standards are part of the regulated RON framework. Deleting the recording prematurely or failing to retain it would violate the rules. This recordkeeping is one of the features that distinguishes RON from traditional notarization.
