Minnesota does not have a confirmed general journal mandate as of our last review — but a journal is still your only defense if a notarization you performed is ever questioned, and it is the universal recommendation of commissioning officials and E&O insurers.
Snap the document, scan the ID barcode, signer signs on screen — a complete, tamper-evident journal entry in under 60 seconds, with the retention clock, entry fields, and recording restrictions for your commission handled automatically. Optional evidence mode keeps an encrypted copy of exactly what you notarized, sealed into the record by hash.
