Hello @KathyMel,

Thank you for reaching out here, we want to welcome you to the Docusign Community, I appreciate you bringing your question to this Community.

We are committed to providing you with the best service possible. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, I understand that you want to know if you should be using DS Authority IDV or DS Electronic when e-notarizing.

If you are referring to the person who will act as the Notary, in Step 3 on the C sub Step of the guide Send an Envelope for Remote Online Notarization, If the notary uses a notarial digital certificate from IdenTrust, select Signer Held Notary U.S. If they use a notarial digital certificate from Docusign, select DS Authority IDV. If they don't use a notarial digital certificate, select DS Electronic.

Or are you referring to the normal recipient?
