I started using the Notary Act app back in July 2021. It has been a game changer for me. The notary journal was the only available tool I had for a long time. Switching to the Notary App made logging signers in a lot easier. One way it made it easier was by making the login process quicker! With the option to scan the drivers license instead of manually writing it down made things effective and efficient. Another way it made things easier was by securing the previous signers information. You no longer have to cover up the previous signer’s information in order for the current signer to sign off.Another great thing is the app is stored on your phone, so it’s one less item you have to carry. To be honest, I was still using my journal for the first 5-10 digital login transactions. I had a fear of not having a back up. After realizing that they are digitally saved and it was secured, I stopped immediately. The app has been great from the very beginning, but it just got even better. With all the new categories that’s been added, you can really streamline your transactions.I love the Notary Act app and will be a long time user as long as I’m in business!
A must-have for every notary!

NotaryAct made my life so much easier. It eliminated the tediousness and time-consuming process of recording journal entries. I no longer write names, addresses, ID numbers, ID issuance and expiration dates, etc. as required in the state of Maryland. In a matter of seconds, NotaryAct captures this information (with 100% accuracy!) when scanning the barcode of a driver’s license. There are other features available to customize the app to meet the requirements of any state, as well as to the specific notary work that you do. I have been using Notary Act for almost 2 years doing loan closings and general notary work. I cannot imagine life without it. I have the app on my cellphone so my journal is always handy. Tech support is an added bonus and readily available to address any questions. So give it a try…download it now! You won’t regret it. -- DBest Notary

Being a new notary, I am pleased to have found Notary Act. While taking my notary classes the instructor purported how she felt every notary would benefit from this program. By following her lead and communicating with other notaries, many advocate that this app saves time in completing sensitive documents. By setting up this program, I conclude this is an avenue for all new notaries to try. And the communication received from Notary Act will be second to none. You will not have to worry about receiving answers to your questions concerning using this product because someone will always be there to answer. In other words, this is the best program for new notaries.
