Accreditation and Compliance
Electronic notarization in the Philippines is regulated by the Supreme Court. Two accreditations matter: the lawyers who notarize must be commissioned as Electronic Notaries Public (ENPs), and the platform the session runs on must be an accredited Electronic Notarization Facility (ENF). This page explains both, and where OnlineNotaryo.ph stands.
Our status
Current status (August 2026): The Supreme Court opened ENP commissioning on August 10, 2026 and will operationalize the national eNotarization service on October 19, 2026. OnlineNotaryo.ph operates on the accreditation track: every notarization we facilitate is performed by a commissioned electronic notary public through an SC-accredited electronic notarization facility. We do not perform notarial acts ourselves, and we will publish our facility partners and their accreditation details here as commissioning completes.
What ENF accreditation requires
Under the Guidelines on the Accreditation of Electronic Notarization Facility Providers (A.M. No. 24-10-14-SC), an accredited facility must have:
- Proper business registration (SEC, DTI, or CDA)
- Multi-factor authentication and e-KYC identity verification
- Anti-spoofing and liveness detection during video sessions
- Secure videoconferencing infrastructure
- Electronic signatures and electronic notarial seals
- Electronic notarial book generation with audit trails
- Integration with the Supreme Court's Central Notarial Database
- A data outsourcing agreement with the Supreme Court and a PHP 100,000 performance bond
Accreditation is granted by the Office of the Electronic Notary Administrator and is valid for three years.
What ENP commissioning requires
- Membership in the Philippine Bar in good standing
- Clearances from the Office of the Bar Confidant and the Integrated Bar of the Philippines
- Commissioning by the Electronic Notary Administrator under the Supreme Court
How to verify any provider
Do not take any website's word for it, including ours. Check the Supreme Court's eNotary Services portal for the official lists of accredited facilities and commissioned electronic notaries public, and verify notarized documents against the Central Notarial Database reference on your notarial certificate.
