App Features — MyNotaryBook

Your State’s Rules, Built In

My Notary Book knows your state’s notary law — all 51 US jurisdictions
Pick your commission and the app configures itself: which IDs are acceptable and which aren’t
Every answer is backed by the statute that says why
IDs your state doesn’t accept are automatically off. Want to override? You can — the app shows you the rule first, so it’s never accidental
When laws change, your rules update over the air — no app update, ever
Works from first launch, even offline — your state’s rules ship with the app and update automatically when you’re back in coverage
Includes free access to our 51-state Notary Rules reference — the same statute-cited database that powers the app, readable by anyone

Multiple commissions supported — each configured to its own state’s rules
The state you’re standing in rises to the top automatically — GPS puts the right commission first, so there’s no scrolling and no guessing
Every commission carries its own state flag — find the right one at a glance
State-specific ID type rules and conditions
Save your settings as a Commission Preset — one profile governs your form, ID types and fees together. Switch presets, and see exactly what changed before you save.

Scan, sign, done — a full entry in under 20 seconds!
Capture signer info, ID details, act type, documents, and fees per session
Auto-fill city, county, and state via GPS location
Credible witnesses are captured in the same session as the signer — no separate entry to create
Voice-to-text support for fast data entry

Scans passports, green cards, driver’s licenses and more!!!
MRZ reading for domestic and foreign passports. YES — even your state’s foreign-ID rules are applied on the spot
Barcode scanner reads driver’s license data instantly — NO MANUAL TYPING REQUIRED
Scanned data lands in the form already validated

Configure which ID types appear in the journal form
State-specific rules with conditions warnings in the form
Add custom ID types for requirements unique to your state — as many as your heart desires
Foreign Passport and Credible Witness dedicated configuration
Inmate and corrections-issued ID handling per your state’s rules
Credible witness oath scripts in your state’s own statutory wording — including affidavit requirements where your state mandates them

Search your history by name, phone, or date of birth
Filter by date range, then select all, some, or none — the count travels with you as you go

Delete/void records with biometric confirmation — individually or in bulk

Face ID / Touch ID protection

State privacy rules enforced automatically — data your state prohibits recording is blocked from entry, partial-only rules are applied (like last-four-digits SSN), and sensitive fields stay redacted behind Face ID / Touch ID

Automatic iCloud sync — your journal follows you across devices
Export encrypted journal backups (AES-256) sealed with a passphrase only you know
Restore from backup with smart conflict detection
Duplicate entry detection and one-tap cleanup

Store commission number, expiration date, and commission state
Upload your notary stamp and signature — optional, but your certificates come out more complete with them
Commission expiration warnings
Auto-expiration date tracking
Light, dark, or automatic — the app follows your phone, or stays where you put it
