Questions People Ask First
Short answers based on A.M. No. 24-10-14-SC. The commissioned notary still decides whether a request can proceed.
Can I request a notarization now?
Not yet. eNotaryHub is preparing its public launch and is not currently accepting notarization requests.
Is an electronic signature already notarized?
No. A signature and a notarial act are different. The notary must perform the required act and attach the proper electronic notarial certificate and seal.
Can every document be electronically notarized?
No. The rules do not apply to certain acts and documents, including notarial wills, deposition taking, and paper documents with handwritten signatures or marks. Other eligibility questions depend on the document and the notary's review.
Can I join a remote session from anywhere?
Do not assume so. For ordinary remote electronic notarization, participants must be in the Philippines. The rules describe limited cases for a principal inside a Philippine embassy, consular office, or honorary consul's office abroad.
