Pennsylvania's eRevolution in eNotarization

While many people buy books and flowers online, as well as pay their bills and even manage their investment portfolios, a great volume of high-value e-commerce has been foreclosed in recent years because of a major lack of trust in electronic documents, records and signatures. Thus, electronic mortgages, contracts, interstate and international commerce, corporate transactions and other critical dealings have been largely left out of the digital revolution because of fears of identity fraud and forgery. Today, eNotarization powered by the National eNotary Registry provides the trust, integrity and professionalism to this aspect of e-commerce that had been lost in the rush for the cost and time efficiencies of electronic technologies.

At the heart of this revolution is a statewide system for eNotarization enabled by the National eNotary Registry — the first-ever secure Electronic Notary Seal (ENS) management system for Notaries Public. Pennsylvania officials in cooperation with the National Notary Association pioneered this "best-practice" platform for eNotarization to protect consumers and detect fraud in an era of booming e-commerce, while continuing to maintain the property, due process, business and personal rights that our country's founders deemed critical centuries ago.

Having this secure electronic notarization system in place will allow Pennsylvania Notaries to integrate their services smoothly with the document management systems of businesses and government agencies. As more businesses begin using electronic documents, Pennsylvania Notaries can expect a greater demand for their services.
