BrendaTx, thanks for the comments.
One aspect your post doesn't dive into is that in the world of tangible notarizations (what we used to call paper) almost every pen owned by a notary and almost every stamp owned by a notary will work on any document. The exceptions would be if there isn't enough blank space in the document, or it's a surveyor's plat printed on Mylar.
This is not at all the case with digital documents. The title company must take into account what the signing platform will be when they write the software that will spit out the electronic documents that will eventually be notarized. This means the notary will potentially need to sign up with several platforms, causing somebody (maybe the notary) to pay several times for essentially the same services. |
