Hawaii Notary Journal Requirements
Required for all notarial acts. Here is what Hawaii asks of a notary's journal or record book, and the Uptown Seal Press Hawaii Notary Journal built around it.
Hawaii journal rules at a glance
- Required for all notarial acts.
- Each entry: type, date, and time of the act; type and date of the document; full printed name and address of each signer and witness; how identity was proven (ID type, number, expiration); and the fee.
- Paper journals must include each signer's and witness's signature.
- Keep the journal 10 years after the last act recorded in it.
- Electronic journals are allowed for electronic documents; they must be tamper-evident and kept separate from a paper journal.
- The AG may inspect journals at any time without notice.
