National Notary Journal

A National Notary Journal is a detailed record kept by a notary public of all official acts they perform, such as witnessing signatures on important documents. It includes information like the date, type of act, signer’s details, and identification methods. Maintaining a journal ensures accountability, helps prevent fraud, and provides legal proof of the acts performed. While some states require a physical log, others may allow electronic records. Overall, it serves as a trustworthy, organized record to verify the notary’s work and protect all parties involved.
