incorporated.ink · Notary registry
Notarizing is a licensed act, by a person, under your state's rules. This registry is a starting point — people who sign and stamp, and neighbors who witness the copies — so a sealed agreement is never stuck looking for a hand to make it legal.
This is not a referral service and not a directory of the verified. Names here are curated starting points; licensing is the state's business and yours to confirm — follow the commissions lookup note under each place before you rely on a name. The registry grows when a neighbor says "ask for so-and-so," and stays honest when it says so.
Two honest kinds of hands sit in the list: licensed notaries (performing the legal act — check the commission) and neighbor witnesses (signing to witness copies, which is not notarization). The in-browser ceremony — where both parties and a witness attest the same sealed statement — waits on identity (#42), so a real person keeps doing the real act.
How a signature gets its teeth
At the Escrow Printer, the exact words get a fingerprint. One changed letter breaks the seal — provable forever, with no connection.
Print the sheet (seal printed on it, twice), sign in ink with the parties, and the notary or witness signs and stamps the witness page.
Every party keeps a bundle, and the copies must agree. If two ever disagree, a seal was broken — and the disagreement is provable.
Identity (#42) is the naming authority that turns a name on this page into a person with a stable handle across the five sites. Until it lands, a notary is a person you ask around for, and this page is the map of who to ask. The moment identity lands, the same rows can carry live attestations — the in-browser ceremony, the "verified" badge, and the standing witnesses all hang on that one hook.
If you know a licensed notary near a place on this list, tell the builder — curating is the whole game.
