For Philippine lawyers

Your path to becoming an Electronic Notary Public

A practical guide from eligibility and training through commission, platform setup, and your first electronic notarial act.

Application roadmap

Six steps from lawyer to platform-ready ENP

The judiciary grants the commission. NotarialOS helps you organize the operational workflow after—and while you prepare for—commissioning.

01

Confirm your eligibility

Check your Bar standing, clearances, continuing legal education, Philippine residence and workplace, and character requirements before spending time on the application.

02

Complete the required training

Finish the electronic notarization training recognized for the application and keep the completion certificate with your records.

03

Prepare and file your application

Collect the judiciary payment receipt, OBC and IBP clearances, MCLE and ULAS proof, PTR, photo, and training certificate, then apply through the Philippine Judiciary Platform.

04

Attend the hearing and take your oath

Follow the judiciary's instructions for the summary hearing and oath. Your ENP commission is issued only after the official process is complete.

05

Activate your notarial workspace

Create your NotarialOS account, verify your identity, and add your commission, professional credentials, signature, seal details, and payout information.

06

Start and maintain compliant operations

Manage eligible acknowledgments, jurats, oaths or affirmations, and signature-witnessing acts while keeping session evidence and electronic notarial book entries organized.

After commissioning
