화상공증제도의 도입에 관한 검토

초록

The electronic notarization system recently introduced in Korea is not being actively used for several reasons. One of the reasons is that a client must visit a notary office, which means that the requirement for a face-to-face meeting with a notary public applies both for electronic and non-electronic notarization. Considering users’ expectations that all processes of notarization will be completed online, they are likely to find it cumbersome and inconvenient to ultimately visit a notary office for a face-to-face meeting while they are allowed to upload electronic documents online. Under these circumstances, this study examines possible introduction of the video(remote) notarization system utilizing real-time bi-directional image transmission technology in a bid to relax or modify the requirement and method of a face-to-face meeting between a notary public and a client.
