Years ago, I was discussing Digital Signatures on an online blog when I received a response from Rick Triola, the President and CEO of a company called Settleware. We had some great talks about the future of Digital Signatures and how slow the world was to accept them even though it was on June 30, 2000 (yes almost 15 years ago) when The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act was signed into Federal Law in the United States.

I find it unsettling that to this day, many banks and mortgage companies do not accept digital signatures while even the IRS will accept your tax returns and send you a tax refund if you are entitled to one with a digtially signed tax return!
We have not completely cured the digital signature dilemna and yet Rick Triola and his staff have taken it to the next level - check out www.NotaryCam.com Their web site has a list of countries that have accepted this technology and list the requirements for it's use (i.e. photo id, passports, etc.) Check it out:
As the owner and broker of Progressive Realty Corporation, I have many clients that are relocating to or away from Boise, Idaho. I have one seller signing documents in Texas on Monday and another set of clients flying to Hawaii (then possibly to Asia) so I will be working with NotaryCam to make all of our lives a little less stressful during the final stages of a real estate transaction.
