Our newest member benefit, eNotaryLog, provides nationwide remote online notarization (RON) and electronic signature solutions through its cloud-based digital services platform. RON uses audio-video technology to securely review documents and electronically verify a person’s identity to complete a legally binding notarial act online. The eNotaryLog platform simplifies the digital signing process while maintaining an exceptional level of security around the transaction allowing our members to execute documents with ease using RON technology.
Using eNotaryLog’s RON-certified in-house notaries, members can conveniently notarize documents anytime and anywhere for time-saving convenience. The company’s notaries are available from 8:00 AM – midnight Eastern Time.
RON technology is relatively new. The pandemic highlighted the need for remote online notarization which was initially allowed under an Emergency Order. The efficiency and convenience have popularized RON, and state laws have been amended to authorize remote electronic notarization. With RON technology, the signer and notary, though not in the same physical location, satisfy the personal appearance requirement by using real-time audio-visual technology. An identity proofing service must be used, and the session must be recorded and preserved for ten years.
Among the providers, eNotaryLog stands out due to its inclusion in Investopedia’s list of top five RON providers. Investopedia named eNotaryLog as “Best for Customer Service” and additionally praised the company’s commitment to protecting sensitive documents. Additionally, the company is listed in the National Notary Association’s 2022 “A Guide to remote notarization providers for notaries.”
Their RON platform is Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization (MISMO)-certified and SOC 2 compliant. SOC 2 is an auditing procedure developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) that ensures service providers securely manage data to protect the interests of an organization and the privacy of its clients. Client information such as signer name, address, and names of witnesses is stored in the electronic notary journal to be compliant with RON laws. Information like SSN and any other information collected from the signer for verification is purged within 24 hours.
The founder of the company is an attorney, and the focus of their business is on the legal, real estate, and financial industries. eNotaryLog is a U.S. Company with all staff located in the U.S., and it is known for its customer service.
For members with the need for a remote notary, eNotaryLog will provide access through the Private Trust Consortium website for all members and their clients to have a document notarized. These one-off sessions are available Mon-Fri from 8:00am – Midnight EST. A licensed and bonded eNotaryLog notary will connect with the signer in an online notary room and notarize documents that have been uploaded through the website. Access to the notarized documents is made immediately following the session payment process.
