Transforming Notary Services with NotaryPro’s Document Creator App

Key Takeaways

• Traditional authentication is time-consuming, inconvenient, and requires in-person presence.
• The Ontario Government enabled online notary services under Bill 190 in 2020.
• NotaryPro revolutionizes notary services, combining document drafting and online commissioning to make the process fast and accessible.
• NotaryPro demonstrates how technology can modernize and simplify traditional services, signaling a promising future for legal tech solutions.

In today’s fast-paced digital world, innovation is the key to making everyday tasks more efficient and convenient. The process of authenticating documents, which has remained largely unchanged for centuries, is no exception– until the release of NotaryPro’s Document Creator App. This online solution transforms the way documents are drafted and commissioned. In this blog post, we’ll explore how this innovative app has leveled up the notary process and offer a glimpse into the future of document authentication.

The Traditional Notary Process

Before delving into the details of NotaryPro’s Document Creator App, it’s essential to understand the traditional notary process and its limitations. Historically, authentication involved a notary public physically witnessing the signing of a document, verifying the signer’s identity, and affixing their official seal to the paper. While this process is effective, it can be time-consuming, inconvenient, and often requires both parties to be physically present.

In May of 2020, under Bill 190, the Ontario Government amended the Notaries Act to establish that a notary public may “exercise his or her powers without being in the person’s physical presence.” You guessed it! This marked the birth of online notary services across Canada and became the catalyst for the release of NotaryPro’s Instant Online Notary Service (affectionately known internally as “The RON”). 

The Creation of NotaryPro’s Document Creator App

NotaryPro’s Document Creator App was born out of a simple idea to expand online notary services: What if you could draft and commission your documents from your computer? NotaryPro’s commitment to accessibility is at the heart of the company’s innovation, and as far as we’re concerned, having a lawyer draft your documents “the old fashioned way” just… isn’t that accessible for many Canadians.

Key Features of NotaryPro’s Document Creator App

• Document Creation: This is the most transformational part of the app! Unlike any other online legal service, this app gives people access to customizable document templates with an online notary platform included.
• Virtual Notary Solutions: The ability to commission documents remotely means that signers and notaries no longer need to be in the same physical location, making the process accessible to individuals across vast distances.
• Identity Verification: The app employs cutting-edge technology to verify the identity of signers, ensuring that only authorized individuals can complete the process. This feature enhances security and mitigates the risk of fraud.

• Compliance and Audit Trail: The app maintains a comprehensive audit trail, ensuring compliance with notarial regulations. This feature offers transparency and accountability for all parties involved.

NotaryPro’s Document Creator App represents a significant transformation in the notary services industry. By harnessing the power of technology, the app has made notary solutions more accessible, efficient, and secure. Here are some of the key benefits of this transformation:
