Custom Notary Public Record Book | Modern Journal (8.5x11, 128-Page)

In this review of the Custom Notary Public Record Book by Hubco, the bottom line is simple: professional notaries and signing agents who need a durable, customizable log will find this Modern Journal of Notarial Events highly practical. The reviewer found the hard cover engraving option-your name and phone number on the front-especially useful for presenting a professional image during loan signings and estate matters. With 128 pages and clear checkbox fields for act type, method of identity, and a California satisfactory evidence mark plus thumbprint space, the book prioritizes thorough documentation over frills.

Key Features

• Custom Engraving: Personalizing the hard cover with your name and phone number helps create a consistent professional presentation for client visits.
• Complete Interior Layout: The inside includes combined Type of Act and Document Type checkboxes to record common notarial acts quickly and clearly.
• Identity & Evidence Fields: Method of Identity checkboxes and a Satisfactory Evidence checkbox (California) provide structured, state-aware recordkeeping.
• Thumbprint Space: A dedicated area for a thumbprint per entry supports higher security and identity verification when required.
• High Capacity: With 128 pages and 8 entries per page, the journal holds 488 total entries, reducing the need to replace books frequently.

Who It's For

The Modern Journal is aimed at professional notaries public and signing agents who handle frequent loan signings, healthcare directives, wills, and other common notarial acts and who want a single, durable record book with clear, state-appropriate fields. Its hard cover and engraving option make it a good choice for notaries who meet clients in person and want to present a polished appearance.

Notaries who require a pocket-sized book, specialty formats for uncommon acts, or state-specific statutory language beyond the included California checkbox may want to look elsewhere. This journal focuses on practical, widely used features rather than niche or compact designs.

Pros & Cons

Pros
