A remote notarization platform is evaluating whether its identity proofing process satisfies New York's minimum requirement under Title 19 NYCRR Part 182. Which standard must the process meet at a minimum?
This matches the stated minimum requirement in the source material: the identity proofing process must meet at least NIST Identity Assurance Level 2, or an industry standard that is equally or more secure.
Identity proofing must meet at least NIST Identity Assurance Level 2 or a more secure standard.
The minimum requirement is NIST Identity Assurance Level 2, not Level 1.
New York requires at least NIST Identity Assurance Level 2 for compliance, not Level 3.
Explanation
Whenever identity proofing is evaluated under this rule, it must meet at least NIST Identity Assurance Level 2, or an industry standard that is equally or more secure.
Memory Aid
Think: 'Minimum is 2' — for identity proofing, start at NIST IAL2 or stronger.
