Astrean notary business success tools
The 1st notary toolbox designed to drive productivity and growth
Unleashing notarization
Rebuilding trust through empowered notaries
For hundreds of years, notarization has been the primary tool for establishing trust in business, legal and government transactions.
The advent of the digital age – and notarization’s recent inability to keep up – had at first raised questions on the need for notarization in this new cyber age.
But the past few years have underscored the untapped potential that notarization offers our society, economy and communities. As we have seen a growing level of distrust for technology, the internet and even each other, we’ve also seen that same trend of growing distrust of key institutions in our country.
It is in this environment that the potential for the duly licensed notary’s traditional trust-building role becomes apparent and needed.
At Astrean, we believe that notaries can once again play a critical role in building trust in our business and legal interactions. And we are committed to empowering notaries with their important duties and responsibilities.
The first online toolbox designed for professional notaries

Tools to take your notary business to the next level

Ask any successful professional — from home builders to management consultants — and they'll tell you that you need the right tool for the job.
Electronic notarization tools for RONs, RINs and IPENs are helpful. But while they help you serve clients more efficiently, they're NOT enough to run and expand your business. Because Astrean is a company of notaries creating solutions for notaries, we understand this critical reality.

Modernizing notarial security and privacy
Big improvements in fraud prevention for notarization
It’s true that notary fraud is rare. But let’s be honest. Traditional notarization has not kept up with the all the modern security precautions used by the financial industry and generally expected by our modern economy.
Notarization can do so much to enhance trust and combat fraud in our business, legal and government. But it has been unable to step up to the plate – until now. Today’s technology can make notarization even more secure and trustworthy. And Astrean’s solution takes it even further:
- Verified notaries. Only notaries with valid commissions and licenses are allowed.
- Signer ID validation. We electronically ensure that signer ID docs are legit.
- Signer ID verification. We use dynamic knowledge-based authentication (KBA) to verify each signer’s actual identity.
- Encrypted data. All data is encrypted in transit using secure socket layers (SSL) and at rest.
- Blockchain-enabled. This supporting technology helps ensure that confirmed records are immutable (cannot be altered later).

Generating customers & revenue for you
Introducing the Astrean "Uber for Notaries" marketplace
Having a Pro, Premium or Platinum tier subscription allows notaries to apply to be part of the Astrean Notary Marketplace – our “Uber for Notaries” platform connecting online notary customers with our notaries.
In addition to individuals searching online for notaries, we also actively recommend our premium notaries to our enterprise clients who need additional support. These enterprise clients are large corporations and very busy title companies with their own internal notary team.
But they often run into times when they need help from seasoned notaries outside their company.
We select and train only qualified notaries to be part of this marketplace. If you’re interested in becoming a notary and/or part of the Astrean Notary Marketplace, click here to learn more.
