The compliant notary journal New York requires.
Since January 25, 2023, every New York notary must keep a detailed journal of every notarial act and retain it for 10 years (19 NYCRR §182.9). NY Notary Pro makes every entry compliant automatically — on your phone and your laptop.

Every field required by 19 NYCRR §182.9 is built in and required — date, time, act type, signer name and address, ID method, witnesses, verification procedure, and the electronic-notarization details. The app will not save a legally incomplete record.
📇 Scan an ID, done
Point your camera at the barcode on a driver license and the signer's name, address, and credential type fill themselves. The license number is never stored — only what the law requires.
⏰ Never miss a renewal
Your commission expires every 4 years. We remind you at 120, 90, 60, and 30 days — before a gap can cost you clients.
🗂 Organized & exportable
Search and sort by date, client, signer, act, or document. Print a certified-style paper journal or export CSV in one tap.
📩 Yearly logbook, automatically
Your yearly logbook is emailed to you as a single file before any record leaves free storage, followed by a 90-day grace period. Clear 10-year retention warnings keep you on the right side of the rule.
📸 Evidence attachments
Snap the signed document and capture GPS coordinates of where the act was logged. Photo and ID-image storage is an optional paid add-on, encrypted at rest.
