What it does
Notary Journal keeps a sequential, append-only log that mirrors a bound paper book. Every entry gets a number that is never reused. You can void an entry with a reason, but you cannot edit or delete one, so the record stays defensible.
Pick your state once and the entry form changes to match it. You see the fields your state requires, the optional ones it allows, and none of the ones it forbids. Each state's ruleset is version-stamped and cited to its statute or notary handbook. The app currently builds a matched entry form for California, Texas, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, Arkansas, and Georgia, with more states in progress.
Not sure if your state requires a journal?
The rules split by state, and they split again for in-person versus remote online notarization. We pulled the current requirement for all 50 states and DC, each cited to its statute or notary handbook.
See the requirements by state, or jump to a state deep-dive: California, Texas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Florida, New York, Ohio, Michigan, Missouri.
Private by design
Your journal lives on your device. There is no sign-in, no server, no tracking. ID numbers stay off by default and are hard-blocked in states that forbid them. After the one-time unlock, export a PDF whenever you want a copy, and the export carries the hash chain so the record can be re-verified.
A note on what this is
This is a record-keeping tool. It does not give legal advice. Confirm your state authorizes an electronic journal for the act you are performing, and verify its current statute.
