What is online notarization?

Online notarization is a new working model of notary institutions in the Internet era. It is a notary office that uses Internet information technology to integrate notarization business consultation, application, identity verification, review, document inspection, payment, issuance, inquiry, etc. Moving all links online is a notarization "high-speed channel" created between the notary office and the parties applying for the notarization on the premise of ensuring the standardization of the notarization business.

The development stage of online notarization:

As a unit that provides attestation services, in order to better develop its own business, notary institutions have been actively using Internet thinking to improve innovation and expand notarization services. capabilities and constantly develop new business models. For this reason, the combination of notarial legal services and information technology has gone through four stages:

The first stage is to provide prior consultation and appointments for notary services through information technology;

Notarization The first way institutions tried to conduct online notarization was to provide consultation and appointment services. This was because under the technical conditions at the time, it was not feasible to handle notarization services online. Therefore, notary institutions could only provide notarization appointment services within their capabilities. .

This model brings convenience to users to a great extent. The handler can avoid problems such as "long queues and broken legs" by making an appointment in advance, which is a great benefit for the handler. .

In the second stage, through information technology, online notarization services are provided for special businesses such as electronic evidence preservation;

With the rapid development of science and technology, creation on the Internet is common. Correspondingly, the number of Internet-based intellectual property disputes has surged. In order to meet such notarization needs, notary institutions have launched "notarization and certificate storage services."

The focus of notarization and certificate depositing is on two aspects: "deposit" and "certification". "Storage" means that the notary institution stores electronic data to prevent data from being tampered with and ensure the integrity of the data. "Certificate" refers to the notarization and certification service provided by a notary institution, which facilitates the collection of evidence after an online dispute occurs.

At this time, online notarization has broken the shortcomings of traditional certification methods that must be processed offline. However, its online notarization storage still has limitations. It can only prove the status of the stored data and ensure that the electronic data is not It has not been tampered with, but it is helpless to prove the authenticity of the data in the stages of generation, exchange and transmission before notarization and storage.

In the third stage, with the help of the development of mobile Internet, part of the notarization business is completed through video, and the offline "run once at most" service model is realized;?

With mobile With the popularization of the Internet, people can meet their needs for shopping, payment, social networking, etc. through mobile phones. The mobile Internet has shaped unprecedented social life patterns, and people's daily lives have been subtly affected.

In this process, various mobile Internet needs are gradually stimulated, and notarization needs are no exception. In order to overturn the traditional face-to-face notarization model, which is time-consuming and laborious, the notary institution launched video communication notarization in the process of exploration. The notary uses the network video equipment in the notary office and the two-way audio-visual transmission tool to conduct the notarization online through video, and finally applies for The person then goes to the notary office to obtain the notarial certificate.

At this stage, online notarization has been greatly improved compared to the past. It moves the notarization process online and realizes it through video communication tools! However, it is not fully intelligent because after applying for notarization services in an online environment, applicants still need to receive the notarization certificate offline.

Electronic notarization technology is the fourth stage of application that combines notarial legal services and information technology. In the information system constructed by electronic notarization technology, notary institutions are allowed to participate in the generation of electronic data corresponding to electronic behaviors through interactive design. , exchange, transmission, and storage process. Based on the non-repudiable electronic data evidence in the system, the notary institution has the service capability to provide notarization and certification of electronic behaviors.

Electronic notarization technology has completely broken the deadlock in the information age where notaries cannot cross the screen and enter the digital world. It provides countless possibilities for the application scenarios of notary services and is one of the solutions for notary institutions to fully realize intelligence. road.

For example, during the epidemic, the consumer coupon lottery was launched to promote public consumption. Major notary offices have adopted notarization lottery systems that use electronic notarization as core technology support to ensure the electronic lottery process through electronic notarization technology. It is fair and just and fully protects the legitimate rights and interests of lottery initiators and participants.

With the help of Internet information technology, notary institutions have developed from only supporting online consultation and appointment to today's fully intelligent, gradually realizing the original intention of "making notarization within reach" and providing parties with more convenience The certification service brings real convenience to the general public.
