Notary journals
A notary journal is an official record where a notary public documents all their notarization activities. It typically includes details such as the date, type of act performed, signers’ identification information, and the nature of the documents. This journal serves as a legal safeguard, providing evidence of the notary’s actions if questions or disputes arise later. Maintaining a complete and accurate journal is essential for compliance with legal requirements and to demonstrate that notarizations were properly performed.
