Transforming Notary Services with NotaryPro’s Document Creator App
Table of Contents
In today’s fast-paced digital world, innovation is the key to making everyday tasks more efficient and convenient. The process of notarizing 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 notarized. 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, notarization 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 notarize 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.
