Introducing State-Law Notary Journals for All 50 States

The Texas Notary Record Book cover from Uptown Seal Press.

Every notary needs a record they can trust. Today Uptown Notary & Signing Co. is proud to introduce Uptown Seal Press, our publishing division, and its first collection: a state-law notary journal for every one of the 50 states and Washington, DC.

Built around your state's own rules

Notary journal rules are not the same everywhere. Some states require a journal for every notarial act, some only recommend one, and each state has its own list of what an entry must include and what it must never include. So instead of one generic book, we built a separate edition for each state.

Every edition includes:

  • 500 numbered entries, laid out for the way your state expects entries to be recorded.
  • Every field your state requires, and none of the fields it doesn't allow you to record.
  • A built-in state notary handbook in the back of the book, plus loan-signing basics and a notary info log for your commission, bond and insurance details.
  • Original state cover art, so your journal looks as professional as your work.

Paperback or hardcover, shipped free

Each journal is printed to order in paperback or hardcover and ships free. The Hawaii edition comes in a 7 × 10 paperback.

Find your state

See what your state asks of a notary journal, and the edition built for it, on our state-by-state notary journal pages. Every Wednesday, the blog also takes a closer look at one state's journal rules.

New to the profession? Our notary and loan signing training course will get you ready, and experienced signing agents can join the Uptown Notary network.

Journal rules change from time to time. Always follow your state's current notary laws and official guidance.

This post is general information, not legal advice. Notary rules differ from state to state; for advice about your own documents or situation, talk with an attorney.
