Participation Rule 5.3(b) requires a Representative Subscriber to “take reasonable steps to ensure that a Signer complies with the laws of the Jurisdiction in which the land the subject of the Conveyancing Transaction is situated regarding who can conduct a Conveyancing Transaction and Digitally Sign Registry Instruments and other electronic documents.”
