The law does not require a notary to keep any record of his/her official acts, but it is recommended to do so. A register will offer an excellent way of recalling past notarial acts. If a notary is called upon totestify in court, a register may help establish what actually took place.Suggested Format:

1. Date of Notarial Act.
2. Type of act performed.
3. Type of document involved.
4. Name and address of each person whose signature was notarized.
5. Signature of each person whose signature was notarized.
6. A "notes" section of personal annotations.
