Notaries have been the gatekeepers against fraudulent documents for centuries, but today’s criminals use high-quality fake IDs that can’t be detected by the naked eye, which means notaries cannot effectively verify identities. Also, fraudsters use inexpensive desktop computers to create undetectable forged documents, and they buy fake notary stamps online. With these technological developments, there is only one way to know if a paper document is real or fake: the Veri-Lock® E-Journal for Notaries. How does the free Veri-Lock® Electronic Notary Journal help notaries? It does not change the notarial process; rather, it gives notaries the 21st Century tools they need. 1) ID Verification: The notary uses the e-journal to scan government-issued IDs, and the app tells the notary whether the IDs are real or fake. 2) Identity Theft Prevention: The e-journal verifies that the real notary and the real signers are present, rather than imposters with fake IDs, stamps or documents. 3) Document Authentication: The e-journal stores the notarial transactions on a fully-encrypted blockchain, so county recorders, title companies, lawyers & property owners can confirm that they received authentic documents.
