New Notary Portal launched to make appointment of Notaries seamless

By TIOL News Service

NEW DELHI, SEP 04, 2024: ARJUN Ram Meghwal, Hon'ble Minister of State, Ministry of Law & Justice (Independent Charge) launched the new Notary Portal (https://notary.gov.in) in a function organised by the Department of Law & Justice in New Delhi yesterday.

The Notary Portal provides an online interface between the notaries and the Government for various services like submission of applications for appointment as notaries, issuance and renewal of Certificates of Practice, change of practice area, submission of annual returns, etc.  With the launch of the Notary Portal, the Central Notaries will not be required to submit applications/ requests in physical mode.  They can submit applications online; monitor its progress; and download digitally signed Certificates of Practice from their digilocker accounts.

Addressing the Officers on the occasion, Arjun Ram Meghwal, Minister of State (Independent Charge), Ministry of Law & Justice hailed the launch of the dedicated Notary Portal as an important step forward towards providing a paperless, faceless and efficient system a step towards the goal of digital India as envisioned by the Prime Minister of India. The  Minister further said that this portal has been made in a user-friendly manner and this will help the Notaries and the public when all the intended features are activated in the course of time.

After the inauguration of the portal by the  Minister the first Certificate of Notary Practice was digitally issued to one Bhura Ram resident of Bikaner Rajasthan.  

Outlining the salient features of the new Notary Portal, Dr. Rajiv Mani, Law Secretary informed that the initiative will help to make not only the system of selection and appointment of Notaries across the country faster, efficient and transparent but will also help in creating digital storage facility of all notary related records. He further said that the new portal comes with several novel features over and above  the earlier notary online applications portal.  He said once the new portal is made fully operational with all its features, it will ensure seamless administration of Notary Act and benefit the citizens throughout the length and breadth of the country's vast geographical expanse.

The Notary Portal launched today in association with NIC has been designed and developed with different modules which shall be rolled out in phases. In the first stage, module relating to issue of Certificate of Practice to the provisionally selected Notaries has been launched. It is envisaged to roll out the modules relating to renewal of Certificate of Practice and submission of Annual Returns later during the year.
