For the duration of the COVID-19 public health emergency declared by Governor Phil Murphy, notaries public and persons authorized to take oaths (hereinafter referred to as a notary or notaries) will be permitted to perform their jobs remotely in certain circumstances in New Jersey.

The new law, P.L. 2020, c.26, is part of a package of bills designed to help cope with the impact of the virus outbreak. With people working from home and practicing social distancing, the law allows oaths, affirmations and affidavits to be taken without endangering the participants’ health. It passed the Legislature as A-3903/S-2336.
