Can I Create an \Electronic Document\ if the Lawyer/Notary Responsible for Execution is Not EFS-enabled?
Yes, the electronic document may be emailed, faxed or couriered to the lawyer/notary responsible for execution. Once a paper copy of the document has been signed by the transferring party, it can then be faxed or couriered back to the EFS enabled lawyer/notary. The originating lawyer/notary may then apply their digital signature to the electronic document. Application of a digital signature is a certification by the signatory that they have in their possession a signed true copy, or a copy of a signed true copy, of the electronic document.
