Transforming Notary Services with NotaryPro’s Document Creator App

Key Takeaways

• Traditional notarization is time-consuming, inconvenient, and requires in-person presence.
• The Ontario Government enabled online notarization under Bill 190 in 2020.
• NotaryPro’s platform revolutionizes notarization, combining document drafting and its online notary to make the notarization 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 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.

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 built into the process.
• Remote Notarization: The ability to notarize 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 notarization process. This feature enhances security and mitigates the risk of fraud.
