Electronic notarization is the process of applying an electronic notary signature and seal onto an electronic document in a completely electronic and paperless transaction. Although a number of technological tools are used, the process maintains the traditional safeguards of requiring the eNotary and the signer to be in the same physical location and for the identity of the signer to be verified by the eNotary.

The Departments of the Secretary of State and Community Colleges implement a Notary Public Education Program to assure notaries comply with the law and deliver quality notary service. The Secretary of State educates the Notary Instructors who teach in the Community Colleges. The program educates notaries about legal, ethical and procedural requirements of notarial acts. North Carolina, the first state to do so, began notary training in 1983; several other states formally train notaries. North Carolina remains in the vanguard of Notary Public education, testing, regulation and practice.
