The rules modernize the process while ensuring full legal validity and protection of notarized documents.
NotarizeIT is UNAWA’s electronic notarization platform built to help notaries and
clients complete notarizations securely online. The process is simple and fully
compliant:

Highlights from Our Info Sessions
"E-notarization is not just a shift in format, it's a shift in mindset. We're being asked to rethink what it means to witness, verify, and attest in a digital space."
"Blockchain can be useful, but only if it solves a real problem. Adding complexity for its own sake doesn't strengthen the system."
"Lawyers need to stop asking whether tech is replacing us—it's not. We should be asking how it can make us better at what we do."
"We're not just talking about notarization. We're talking about how people experience the legal system—and if they trust it enough to engage with it digitally."
"What excites me is that this opens the doors for a more accessible justice system. Geography no longer limits access to legal services."
"The Philippines can actually be a leader in this space [e-notarization] if we focus on interoperable legal technologies—not just compliance for its own sake."
