Document Restrictions
Connecticut restricts certain document types from RON:
Connecticut's recognition statutes exclude an acknowledgment by a remotely located individual in a Connecticut real estate closing (Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 1-37, 47-7). Connecticut's own remote ink procedure (§ 3-95b) separately excludes wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health-care documents and real estate closings, but that list governs Connecticut notaries, not a notary commissioned elsewhere.
Interstate Recognition
Connecticut recognizes a notarial act performed under the law of another state (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 1-37 and § 47-7 (out-of-state acknowledgments valid; both exclude acknowledgments by a remotely located individual in a Connecticut real estate closing)).
