Numbered and sealed
Each filed entry gets the next number and is sealed into a chain, so any change would show. A fix is a pink copy that points to the original; nothing filed is ever edited or deleted.
Notary journal for signing agents
Every entry numbered and accounted for.
Countersign is a private notary journal for mobile notaries and loan signing agents. Scan the ID, take the signature on the line, file the entry, and the fee and the miles are already counted.

Good to know
Is there a notary journal app for iPhone?
Countersign is a notary journal for iPhone, iPad and Mac, made for mobile notaries and loan signing agents. Each entry is numbered and, once filed, sealed so any later change would show; a correction is a separate amendment that points to the original.
Does it know my state’s journal rules?
Countersign shows what your state asks you to record, whether thumbprints are needed, fee limits and how long to keep the journal, each with the law it comes from and the date it was checked. A state we haven't checked yet is marked that way, never guessed. This isn't legal advice. Your state's notary rules decide what you must record.
What if my state requires a paper journal?
In Arizona, California and Washington, Countersign runs beside your paper book: appointments, fees, miles and the book's page for each signing, with no ID numbers, signatures or thumbprints stored.
Can it track my signing fees and mileage?
Yes. Each signing carries its fees and the trip to it, and Money adds them up by week, month and year, with a year-end summary and a spreadsheet of every signing for your taxes.
Is my journal private?
Yes. Countersign has no account, no ads and no analytics, and it makes no network requests of its own. Your journal stays on your devices and your own iCloud, and IDs are read on the device; nothing is uploaded. Read the privacy policy.
How much does it cost?
Your first 10 entries are free. After that, Countersign is $5.99 a month or $49.99 a year. Reading, exporting and backing up your journal stay free, always.
When can I get it?
Countersign is being built now and comes to the App Store once it's ready. Write to [email protected] and we'll tell you the day it's out.
Countersign is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any state or notary organization. This isn't legal advice. Your state's notary rules decide what you must record.
