Courts’ Responses to the Covid-19 Crisis

In response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and with the understanding that notarization is an essential component of business and personal transactions, Governor Eric J. Holcomb, Secretary of State Connie Lawson, the Indiana State Bar Association, and key stakeholders are working diligently to expedite the implementation of remote notarization in the State of Indiana. Remote notarization was previously scheduled to go into effect on July 1, 2020. The administrative rules will now go into effect March 31, 2020 along with the statutory authority to perform remote notarizations. (75 IAC 7 & IC 33-42-17).

The Indiana Secretary of State's office is currently working to approve remote technology vendors as soon as possible.
