Under which condition may a notary public certify a tangible copy of an electronic record for recording in California's real property records?
Under GC §27201.1, the disinterested custodian must have had access to the electronic record and confirm that it displays intact tamper-evident security procedures before certifying the tangible copy. The notary then completes a jurat for the custodian's certification — the notary does not independently verify the electronic record.
Certification requires a disinterested custodian's sworn statement, not merely notarization by another notary.
The custodian must be disinterested — a grantee or beneficiary of the record is disqualified.
A disinterested custodian is required to certify accuracy; the notary only completes the jurat.
Explanation
A tangible copy of an electronic record may be certified for recording in real property records only when a disinterested custodian verifies that the electronic record displays intact tamper-evident security procedures.
Memory Aid
Remember 'TAMPER' — Tangible copies must show Access, Maintenance of procedures, and Error-free details for notarization.
