Gorriceta Africa Cauton & Saavedra and Quanby Solutions Inc. have officially partnered to launch NotarioPH by QLegal.

For years, notarizing a legal document in the Philippines required physical presence, resulting in long lines and reliance on analog processes. On August 5, 2026, this long-standing friction was addressed when Gorriceta Africa Cauton & Saavedra and Quanby Solutions Inc. signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to pioneer electronic notarization. By combining legal excellence with accredited digital infrastructure, the collaboration seeks to support the country’s transition toward a modernized, trusted digital legal ecosystem.

The NotarioPH Platform: Eliminating the Analog Bottleneck

NotarioPH by QLegal digitizes every phase of the notarial process into a single, seamless web portal. Built around the Supreme Court’s Rules on Electronic Notarization, the platform provides several critical functions:

• 24/7 On-Demand ENP Network: The platform connects users directly with a nationwide network of qualified Electronic Notarial Practitioners (ENPs) for both urgent and scheduled online notarization requirements.
• Encrypted Video Recording & Evidence Capture: The platform encrypts and records live notarization sessions, capturing synchronized audio-video streams, timestamps, and identity verification events for audit and legal defensibility.
• Digital Notarial Register & Reporting: Replacing physical notary books with searchable electronic registers, the platform provides real-time transaction monitoring and automated record synchronization for Supreme Court regulatory reporting.

Enterprise-Grade Security and Blockchain Integration

To preserve the authenticity and public trust associated with traditional notarization, NotarioPH incorporates highly secure, enterprise-ready technology:

• Blockchain-Backed Audit Trails: The platform leverages DOCONCHAIN and Hyperledger frameworks to store cryptographic document signatures and chain-of-custody verifications on an immutable ledger.
• DICT PKI & Digital Seals: Powered by DOCONCHAIN's cryptographic integration, the platform connects with the Department of Information and Communications Technology’s National Public Key Infrastructure to generate verifiable digital signatures and authenticated electronic seals.
• BSP-Aligned Security: Implementing cybersecurity controls aligned with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, the platform is API-ready for seamless integration with banks, law firms, and enterprise systems.
