Electronic Journals
The e-Notary platform also provides a full very secure electronic journal that allows the notary to collect the same information as they would in a paper based journal that is accessible by the notary at any time.
What About The State Required x.509 Digital Certificate?
The State of Florida requires that a notary obtain PKI based x.509 digital certificate from a trusted certificate authority. DocVerify has partnered with such a provider to allow the notary to purchase the digital certificate right from the e-notary platform. If the notary happens to already have a certificate that's not a problem either as the platform allows notaries to also upload their own.
What About The Unique Password?
The State of Florida also requires that a notary have a unique password when e-notarizing documents. The DocVerify platform enforces this requirement by allowing the notary to securely enter a password before the notarial act can be completed.
What About Identity Verification?
The platform is also equipped with an Identity Verification or Knowledge Based Authentication (KBA) process that allows participants to enter information about themselves, and then they are presented with a set of questions that only they should be able to answer.
What About Credential Analysis?
DocVerify's e-Notary platform also has a proprietary ID credential analysis system allowing for participants to upload images of their ID's for analysis as well as facial recognition of face pics that become part of the transaction.
What About Web Cam Recording?
The state also requires that the notarial act be recorded, and that the recording must be kept for a certain number of years in a secure vault. DocVerify takes care of the recording where it is safely kept with the e-journal.
