A notary public may select one or more tamper-evident technologies to perform notarial acts with respect to electronic records. A person may not require a notary public to perform a notarial act with respect to an electronic record with a technology that the notary public has not selected.

(2)

Before a notary public performs the notary public’s initial notarial act with respect to an electronic record, a notary public shall notify the secretary of state that the notary public will be performing notarial acts with respect to electronic records and identify the technology the notary public intends to use. If the secretary of state has established standards for approval of technology pursuant to section 24-21-527, the technology must conform to the standards. If the technology conforms to the standards, the secretary of state shall approve the use of the technology.

(3)

In every instance, the electronic signature of a notary public must contain or be accompanied by the following elements, all of which must be immediately perceptible and reproducible in the electronic record to which the notary’s electronic signature is attached: The notary’s name, as it appears on the notary’s certificate of commission; the notary’s identification number; the words “notary public” and “state of Colorado”; a document authentication number issued by the secretary of state; and the words “my commission expires” followed by the expiration date of the notary’s commission. A notary’s electronic signature must conform to any standards promulgated by the secretary of state.
