Notary Journal
A notary journal is a secure record kept by a notary public that documents details of each notarization performed. It includes information such as the date, type of document, identification used, and signatures of involved parties. This log helps verify that the notary acted properly and provides legal protection if the notarization is later questioned. Maintaining an accurate journal is a best practice and often a legal requirement, ensuring transparency and accountability in the notarization process.
