Journal
The notary is required to keep a permanently bound journal of their
notary acts. Each notary public shall keep a permanently bound journal of
his or her notarial acts containing numbered pages, except those notarial
acts connected with judicial proceedings, and those for whose public record
is publicly filed within ninety days of execution. Each notary public shall
record in such journal the following: the month, day and year of notarization;
the type of notarization such as acknowledgment or jurat: the type of
document; the name and address of the signer; the identification used by
the signer; the notary fee; and the signature of the signer.
The journal can be purchased from a local office supply store or may be
supplied to the notary by a notary company or association.
The notary journal is the exclusive property of the notary.
