The Full Faith and Credit Clause allows notarizations performed in one state to still be valid in another. This clause also enables documents to be notarized online by a notary in one state to be valid in all other states. It is used in conjunction with the United States Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (E-Sign) Act which, since enacted in the year 2000, recognizes e-signatures as valid in all states as well. 

New Jersey-specific online notarization laws 

In 2020, New Jersey introduced a temporary law under Executive Order 103 that allowed notary publics to perform online notary services. This made way for a permanent remote notarial law to be created the following year through Assembly 4250.
