AI agent for notaries

Notarial Act Legality Screening Agent

Decide quickly and safely whether a requested notarial act can proceed.

Notarial Act Legality Screening Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Notaries must decline acts outside their authority: giving legal advice, notarizing a document with blank sections, or acting without a present signer. When an unfamiliar document comes in, the agent reads the document type, checks for blanks, missing signer details or a request for advice, and compares the request with the notary's authority in the state. It marks the act as proceed, fix first or decline. It drafts a polite explanation for the client, with what to fix if the issue is fixable. When the signer fixes an issue, it re-checks. The notary approves the decision and the message. Edge case: a form has a blank date field, so the agent marks fix first and asks the client to fill it.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It checks completeness, signer presence and ID, and whether the request needs legal advice. Complete and within authority is proceed, fixable is fix first, and outside authority is decline.

  • A request for advice on content is a decline
  • A blank section or missing date is fix first
  • An act on a document the signer cannot confirm is a decline
  • Never accept an incomplete certificate wording

An example run

What happensA client sent a contract and asked which clause to initial. The first check failed on authority: choosing a clause is advice. The agent drafted a decline of the advice with a note that an attorney can help. The same contract also had a blank date. After the client filled the date, the re-check passed. The notary approved the message and proceeded.
