Built for how Tennessee notaries actually work

Everything you need — nothing you don't.

Tamper-evident by default

Every entry is locked with a cryptographic hash and timestamp — court-defensible if a Tennessee record is ever challenged.

Tennessee-specific validation

Fields required by Tennessee law are enforced at entry time. Missing thumbprint or county? You'll know before you save.

Court-ready PDF exports

Export any single entry or a filtered date range as a signed, timestamped PDF — ready to hand to an attorney or court clerk.

Track every fee earned

Notalog tracks fees per entry. Run an income report for tax season with flexible fee tracking per your disclosure.

Signer directory

Save repeat clients so future entries auto-populate. Great for mobile notaries doing back-to-back signings.

Kept for 10 years

Your Tennessee journal is retained per state guidelines — never lost to a shoebox, water damage, or a stolen car.

Tennessee notary journal FAQ

Do Tennessee notaries have to keep a journal?+
Tennessee does not legally mandate a journal for every notarial act, but the National Notary Association and every liability-insurance provider strongly recommend keeping one. It is your only defense if a signature is ever disputed in court.
Is a digital notary journal legal in Tennessee?+
Yes. Tennessee accepts electronic journals kept in tamper-evident formats. Notalog exceeds the requirements by cryptographically hashing every entry and preserving an audit trail.
What's the maximum fee I can charge in Tennessee?+
Tennessee does not set a fixed maximum fee — you must disclose your fee schedule to the signer before the act. Notalog helps you log your disclosed fee alongside each entry.
How long do I need to keep my Tennessee journal?+
Tennessee requires notary journals be retained for 10 years after the last entry. Notalog stores your records for the full retention period — and you can export them at any time.
Can I use Notalog for Remote Online Notarization (RON) in Tennessee?+
Tennessee authorizes RON. Notalog logs RON entries with all required fields — signer identity verification method, session platform, and applicable maximum fee.
