This accreditation enables NotarizeIT to provide the technology infrastructure needed to support Electronic Notaries Public (ENPs) in performing electronic notarial acts in accordance with the Supreme Court’s Rules on Electronic Notarization (A.M. No. 24-10-14-SC).
Even in a digital-first legal landscape, notarization remains the backbone of document integrity. It’s more than a formality—it’s what gives a document its legal weight. A notary’s seal verifies identity, intent, and voluntariness, protecting all parties from fraud or coercion.
