Recently, the State of Washington passed SB 5081 which requires notary publics to keep a journal for all notarial acts. As of July 2018, Washington notary publics will also be required to store journals in a locked and secured area, which “must be under the Notary’s exclusive control.”
So why all these extra provisions and protections?
Storing details of a transaction or notarial act can help if the details of an event are challenged in court. These recorded details have also helped investigators arrest fraudulent signers who attempted to commit forgeries.
Clearly, the demand for notary publics in Washington is on the rise, and a properly executed notarial act is the key to more than simply making documentation official.
Before you access a Washington notary public, learn about what they can — and can’t — do.
Seattle Mobile Notaries & Notaries Throughout Washington
The Notary Public in Washington performs notarial acts that includes:
- Taking acknowledgements
- Administering oaths and affirmations
- Witnessing or attesting to a signature (and the ID of the signer)
- Certifying or attesting to the fact that a copy of a document is real
- Executing “protests”
In Washington, individuals can also apply for apostilles, which is an authentication issued to documents for use in countries abroad that also recognize apostilles. It essentially qualifies that the document is authentic.

- Be tamper-evident;
- Be in a format that allows for backing up
- Be capable of providing copies of entries when necessary
Journal entries themselves will need to have the following information:
- The date and time of the notarization
- A description of the document
- The type of notarization
- The full name and address of the individual for whom the notarization was performed
And notaries must create these records when the actual notarial act is going on — not after.
To make things truly official, the Notary Public in Washington includes a seal on every document or “form”, as they’re better known. These certifications have their own forms and the seal impressions must appear on both physical as well as electronic notarial acts.
Notary publics in Washington can also perform online notarizations, which takes electronic signatures to the next level — whereas, prior to, you’d have to appear in person, now an individual’s identity can be verified via video/audio conferencing.
