Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Electronic Notary Log on the PISYS platform.

Is an electronic notary journal legally acceptable?
Many states permit or require electronic notary journals, and even where a paper journal is allowed, a compliant electronic log is widely accepted as an equivalent or superior record. PISYS captures every field a state journal requires. Always confirm your specific state's notary record-keeping rules with your commissioning authority.
What information does each log entry capture?
Each entry records the signer's name and address, the type and details of the identification presented, the method of identity verification, the notarial act performed, the document type, the date and time, and any fee charged.
Can I search and export my notary records?
Yes. Every entry is instantly searchable by signer name, date, document, or act, and you can export or print journal reports on demand for audits, court requests, or your commissioning authority.
Does it work with mobile notary jobs?
Yes. The Electronic Notary Log integrates with PISYS Mobile Notary Management so notarizations performed in the field are logged to the same compliant journal automatically.
