About
About NotaryOT
NotaryOT is a public directory of commissioned notaries, built from the rosters states publish themselves, with booking and training built around it. This page says who operates it and what it does — and, just as usefully, what it does not.

Who operates this site
One entity, named in every agreement.
NotaryOT is a trade name of Atanium Corporation, a Wyoming corporation. The same entity is the counterparty on every agreement published here, so the name in the Terms is the name behind the site.
The full agreements are published in whole: Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and the Notary Provider Agreement for notaries taking work through the platform.
The distinction that matters most
We coordinate. Notaries notarize.
This is the distinction that matters most, and it is the first section of our Terms for that reason. NotaryOT is not a notary public and does not perform notarial acts. Every notarization arranged here is performed by a separate, state-commissioned notary.
What the notary decides
- Whether the act may lawfully be performed
- Whether the identification presented is satisfactory
- How the act is recorded in their journal
That notary — not this platform — makes those calls.
What NotaryOT does
- The directory and its search, and the profile pages
- Scheduling, and communication between a signer and a notary
- Payment, and support when something goes wrong
The surrounding work — never the notarial act itself.
Where the listings come from
If a commission appears here, a state published it.
Every listing is a row from a state's own notary roster. We do not collect notary details, buy them, or accept submissions into the directory. We currently ingest 6 states:
- California
- Colorado
- Delaware
- New York
- Oregon
- Texas
California, in depth
California is where the directory goes deepest, because California is where the gap is widest: the state publishes no per-notary lookup at all, only a single compressed file of every active commission, refreshed each business day. Checking one notary means downloading that file and searching it yourself. We do that once and give each commission an address.
The sourcing, the sync cadence, the fields we publish and the one field we ingest and never show are all set out on one page:
What is free, and what is not
Being listed is free. So is claiming it.
Free
$0Being listed is free, and it is not optional in the way a paid listing would be — a commission is on the state's public roster whether or not anyone here is paying. Claiming that listing is also free: a notary proves the commission is theirs, and from then on they control what the page says and can be requested by name at no charge.
What we charge for
Paid- Coordinated bookings
- The Academy's exam-prep products
The Academy, stated plainly
Exam preparation — and one thing it is not.
NotaryOT Academy sells exam preparation for people becoming California notaries: the CA Commission Launchpad and the CA Notary Exam Simulator. There is one thing it is not, and we would rather you read it here than find out later:
California requires a six-hour course of study from a state-approved vendor before you can take the exam. NotaryOT Academy is exam preparation and career training — it is not that course.
Any school that is vague on that point is telling you something about itself.
What we do not do
Four things you won't find here.
- ReviewsWe do not publish reviews, ratings, star scores or testimonials for notaries.
- AddressWe do not publish street addresses — a great many notaries on a state roster have listed their home.
- WordsWe do not write descriptions of a notary's practice on their behalf; an unclaimed page shows the state's record and nothing else.
- AdviceAnd we do not give legal advice — the notice at the foot of every page on this site says exactly where that line falls.
Getting something changed
Correct the state's record first. Or ask us to take it down.
If a listing is wrong, the state's record is the thing to correct first — we republish what the state publishes, so a correction there reaches us on the next sync. If you are the notary and you would rather not be listed at all, ask, and we will remove it. We do not require a reason.
