KEEPING RECORDS OF YOUR NOTARIAL ACTS
Pennsylvania notaries are not required to keep copies of the documents they notarize but they are required to keep and maintain a register containing an accurate chronological record of all official acts by the notary done by virtue of the notary’s office, and when required, give a certified copy of the register in the notary’s office to any person applying for same.
The register shall contain the date of each act, the character of the act, and the date and parties to the instrument, and the amount of fee collected for the service. Each notarization shall be indicated separately. The register may, but need not, contain a place for a signature of the person whose signature is being notarized.
Each notary must keep a separate register. No one other than the notary to whom the register belongs may use it.
