The current paper notary system is not only inefficient but lacks protection from fraud.

The current paper notary process is

• inefficient;
• expensive;
• inconvenient, and;
• slow with frequent delays.

It is unable to provide intended protection from fraud, inconsistent, and often leads to inaccessible court evidence because it lacks a defendable audit trail.

Virginia passed a revolutionary law effective in 2012 that enables a Virginia commissioned notary to notarize documents online for signers located anywhere using online meeting technology to capture audio and video recordings of the event combined with digital signature technology.

Over 25% of all deed recorders in the United States are electronically recording and filing documents....including land-records.

And that is WITHOUT the utilization of the e-notary process....

Our solution takes the changes in the law and the fact that e-recording is becoming wide-spread and makes the truly paperless process a reality.

Trustmark Certifcation Services, LLC (TCS) provides a secure face-to-face electronic notarization platform and digital signature services to notaries throughout the United States. 

Our e-notary solution guarantees an accurate and trustworthy digital record of every notarized transaction prevents forgeries by using tamper-evident electronic documents and state of the art encryption and eliminates mistakes by using sophisticated software to ensure documents are correctly completed in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

TCS uses proven, patented cloud-based software to provide secure, electronic notarization services either in person in many states or using Virginia notaries to service signers both nationally and internationally. TCS ensures that each document has an audit trail.

The TCS offering includes the following products and services:

• Face to face electronic notarization

Here are the benefits for all participants:

Efficient process with reduced cost. It eliminates cost and time associated with paper documents.  There is no mailing/FedEx, no missed appointments and no re-dos. It is less than half the cost of traditional notary signing agents.  It allows signing and notarizing documents, anywhere and anytime.

TCS meets legal requirements.  Because we utilize proven digital signatures and digital certificates, our documents stand up to the harsh scrutiny of the courts systems across the United States.

Standards-based digital signatures. Guaranteed journal records, including audio-video recording of every online notary transaction.  Electronic certitifed copies of the journal record are also available upon request.

User-friendly.  Our e-notary platform is very easy for notaries and their signers to use.  We have developed and built the system to facilitate quicker, more secure transactions, not to be mired down in a hard to understand technology.

A number of developments have occurred to make this an ideal time to launch TCS to address a rapidly emerging opportunity.

• For documents to be e-notarized, they must be electronically signed for the process to be practical and to provide the greatest value. The electronic signature market has grown substantially in recent years as adoption has surged and become widely accepted. Growth accelerated even faster with approximately 50% market growth in both 2011 and 2012.
• Virginia passed a revolutionary law effective in 2012 that enables a Virginia commissioned notary to notarize documents online for signers located anywhere using online meeting technology to capture audio and video recordings of the event combined with digital signature technology. This service can provide enormous cost savings as well dramatic improvements in efficiency, timeliness, security and customer convenience.
• The number of jurisdictions that are electronically recording documents reached over a quarter of those in the United States, according to Kay Wrucke, president of the Property Records Industry Association (PRIA).  Electronic recording is the automated process in a land records office of receipt, examination, fee calculation and payment, endorsing of recording information and return of recorded electronic documents to the submitter.  According to PRIA, eRecording improves the quality of data, reduces turn-around times and provides significant cost savings for those who utilize it, when compared to a manual process.
• The robo-signing crisis accompanied a tremendous number of foreclosures, many of them invalid, and an enormous legal quagmire. It clearly illustrated that, in addition to the numerous inherent inefficiencies in a manual process, there are also substantial weaknesses and risks relative to trust, document integrity and legal evidence in the paper based notarization process in place.

TCS uses a proven, patented digital signature technology licensed from SIGNiX, Inc, which has 10 years of experience with e-signature markets and processes over 1 million signatures per month and assumes new digital signatures roughly every 2 seconds.

The TCS team also has deep business and political relationships in Virginia. The CEO is one of the top national experts on notarial law and has established relationships with notary regulators in nearly all 50-states.

Our team here at TCS actually wrote the Virginia online notarization law, meaning we have expert thought leaders, politicians, and policy makers on board with our systems.

TCS has made a lot of headway into designing and developing our patented cloud based e-notarization software.  Here's what we have accomplished so far.

Our e-notary solution is built.  Our e-notary solution has been approved by the Commonwealth of Virginia.  Our e-notary solution meets the strict standards developed at the Federal-level for identity security and document authenticity.

We are negotiating pilot programs in both California and Virginia.

We are negotiating a Joint Marketing Agreement with Virginia's leading private court e-filing vendor.

The founders have personally invested $15 million into the technology and the compliance with state and federal laws and regulations.
