Notary Setup page

Overview

This topic provides information on how to use the Notary Setup page.

IMPORTANT: You must have the notary rights to access this item in the navigation menu.

Anyone at your company who is a notary can register his or her notarial credentials with Simplifile. This lets the notary verify from within Simplifile that the electronic images scanned are exact copies of the paper documents they represent. This can help to streamline the eRecording process. Notaries can view or edit their notary information at any time.

Depending on your settings, you may also have access to a Notary Journal page in the Simplifile application. This page tracks notarial acts you perform. Below is an example. For more information about the Notary Journal, see Notary Journal page.

For more information on the notary setup, contact your Simplifile account manager.
