AnalysisWhen Maryland enacted paper remote notarization in 2022, one of the new provisions pertaining to the identification of a remotely located individual was added to the statute that referred to a “Notary” rather than a “Notary Public.” Since "Notary Public" is the formal and proper title of a Maryland Notary, Senate Bill 667, Maryland’s annual corrective bill, fixes the minor omission of "public" from the Notary's title in this one place, and corrects other technical errors and omissions in various articles of the Annotated Code and in uncodified laws.
