The Notary eJournal by Jurat INC is an electronic notary journal created to provide a digital replacement for the standard hard-bound notary journals that exist in the market. Designed by and for notaries in the State of California, it adheres to the most strict and up-to-date notary journal guidelines in the United States.

Before considering use of any electronic notary journal, a notary public should check their state requirements to ensure adherence to all guidelines.

The Notary eJournal was designed by signing agents in the State of California that work in the high-volume real estate & lending environment, often individually responsible for helping close hundreds of refinance, purchase and sale transactions per month. Given this workflow and industry insight, the Notary eJournal was created with the following priorities in mind:

Compliance - California has some of the strictest guidelines for notaries when it comes to the notary journal. As the only State to require capturing a thumbprint for certain notarizations, it is imperative for any useful electronic notary journal to provide such functionality. Our team has tested numerous bluetooth thumbprint capturing devices and has made the Notary eJournal compatible with the best bluetooth thumbprint scanner available to the public. The link this device can be found on our website.

*Note - this bluetooth thumbprint capturing device must be purchased separately

Ease of Use - The guided workflow provided by the Notary eJournal will ensure your signing appointments aren’t slowed down by the process of manually writing down all entry information and using an ink pad to capture thumbprints.

Technology - The Notary eJournal safely and securely implements features meant to truly make your job easier. Key features include using your device location to input location information, taking a picture of a signers ID and having all important information automatically input in the appropriate fields, and using bluetooth thumbprint technology to capture any necessary thumbprints.
