What has actually happened, and when
The rollout is staged and changes month to month. This page is the dated record — including, deliberately, the things that have not happened.

Newest first. Every entry carries its source.
- commissioning
ENP application form posted; commissioning process being stood up
The application form for lawyers seeking an Electronic Notary Public commission has been posted. The Supreme Court's "List of Commissioned ENPs" page still reads AVAILABLE SOON, so there is still no public directory of e-notaries.
- accreditation
Supreme Court accredits the first three e-notarization platforms
Three Electronic Notarization Facility providers are now accredited: Ohelio, Inc.'s Twala, Quanby Solutions, Inc.'s QLegal, and UNAWA, Inc.'s NotarizeIT. This is the first time platform accreditation can be checked against something official rather than a provider's own claim. A public directory of individual commissioned e-notaries is still not available.
- enforcement
NBI arrests five over fake notarization using a stolen seal
The National Bureau of Investigation arrested five people in Manila for fake notarization using a stolen notarial seal. It is a reminder that notarization fraud is prosecuted — and that a seal alone proves nothing.
- market
Twala announces a partnership with the Integrated Bar of the Philippines
Provider Twala announced an IBP partnership in January 2026. A partnership with a bar association is not the same thing as Supreme Court accreditation, and at that point no accredited-provider list had been published. Twala was later among the three platforms accredited in August 2026.
- accreditation
Accreditation opens for Electronic Notarization Facility providers
The Supreme Court opened applications for ENF provider accreditation through a portal on its website. Requirements include a ₱5,000 application fee, a ₱100,000 performance bond, e-KYC to BSP standards, geolocation with VPN blocking and 99.9% uptime. Accreditation runs three years.
- rules
The Rules on Electronic Notarization take effect
A.M. No. 24-10-14-SC became effective. It supplements the 2004 Rules on Notarial Practice and repeals the 2020 Interim Rules on Remote Notarization of Paper Documents (A.M. No. 20-07-04-SC).

Rules published; Supreme Court announces approval
The Rules were published on 9 March 2025, together with the Guidelines on the Accreditation of Electronic Notarization Facility Providers. Both were approved En Banc on 4 February 2025.
Agency acceptance matrix
Will they take an e-notarized document? Mostly, nobody has said.
Read this row label carefully
“No announcement yet” does not mean “refuses”. It means we have found no public statement either way. An e-notarized document has the same legal force as a traditionally notarized one — but whether a particular counter will accept it today is a practical question. Ask them before you pay for anything with a deadline attached.
| Agency | Typical documents | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Land Transportation Office (LTO) | Deeds of sale for vehicles, affidavits of loss | No announcement yet | No public announcement on accepting e-notarized documents as of the date above. |
| Registry of Deeds / LRA | Deeds of sale for land, extrajudicial settlements | No announcement yet | No public announcement. Land registration carries extra formalities — ask the specific registry first. |
| Banks (private) | SPAs, board resolutions, secretary's certificates | Case by case | Acceptance is set by each bank's internal policy, not by a regulator. Ask your branch before you pay for anything. |
| SSS | Affidavits, SPAs for claims | No announcement yet | No public announcement. |
| Pag-IBIG (HDMF) | SPAs, affidavits for housing loans | No announcement yet | No public announcement. |
| DFA | Supporting documents for passport and apostille services | No announcement yet | No public announcement. Apostille rules are separate from notarization rules. |
