Connecticut Notary Journal Requirements
Not required by Connecticut law, but the Secretary of the State strongly recommends one (a bound book is best). Here is what Connecticut asks of a notary's journal or record book, and the Uptown Seal Press Connecticut Notary Journal built around it.
Connecticut journal rules at a glance
- Not required by Connecticut law, but the Secretary of the State strongly recommends one (a bound book is best).
- Suggested entries: date and time, type of act, document description, signer's signature, printed name, and address, how ID was determined, the fee, and the place of the act.
- For remote acts, also note the signer's location, the technology used, and whether a recording was kept.
- Retention period: Not confirmed — check the official source.
