Welcome to NotariseIt. This guide covers everything from registering your credentials to conducting sessions, issuing certificates, and receiving payouts.

What you can do as a notary

• Register with your Supreme Court Number (SCN) and credentials for NPN verification
• Verify your identity once a year, so every notary on the platform is a known person
• Set your availability, session fees, and accepted document types
• Conduct live notarisation sessions via HD video with automatic cloud recording
• Use a signature image library for consistent, professional signing on all fields
• Place signing fields and apply your registered digital seal during sessions
• Open a monitored audit chat to communicate with participants in writing during a session
• Eject participants from a session if necessary
• Invite witnesses to sign alongside the client
• Issue RSA-signed notarial certificates with tamper-evident QR codes
• Submit notarised documents automatically to the Chief Registrar (s.6(5) Notaries Public Act 2023)
• Maintain an immutable electronic journal (auto-generated per session), exportable as CSV or PDF
• See your own performance figures and read every review clients have left you
• Receive automatic payouts to your registered bank account after each session

Notary subscription plans

Notaries join on the free Access plan. The Pro plan unlocks boosted search ranking, a published practice description, and unlimited deep AI review against a monthly allowance on Access. Notaries who are members of an Elite organisation receive Pro-equivalent features covered by the organisation's subscription.

Document retrieval is not a plan feature. Every notary, on every plan, gets the same free access window after a session and the same retrieval terms after it — see Getting documents back later.
