Starting October 19, 2026, when the Supreme Court operationalizes its eNotarization service, OnlineNotaryo.ph will let anyone in Davao City notarize documents by live video with a commissioned electronic notary public. Upload a PDF, show a valid ID on camera, sign, and receive your electronically notarized document, with same-day sessions planned from launch. Join the waitlist now to book an opening-week slot.
Where people in Davao City usually notarize, and why online is different
Notaries cluster near the Hall of Justice along San Pedro and Quimpo Boulevard, a serious commute from the city's outer districts. Davao's land area is larger than all of Metro Manila. For residents of Calinan or Marilog, online notarization saves a trip measured in hours, not minutes.
Areas we serve in Davao City
