ABSTRACT:
The method and system of the present invention function perform signature verification using third party authenticator via paperless electronic transaction platform. The invention is particularly suited to electronic commerce transactions that require a legally binding, traditional notarization by a live notary public, albeit in a format that is compatible to and electronic commerce. A customer downloads an appropriate electronic document from an electronic document repository and inputs the required information into the electronic document. After inputting all of the required information, the customer uploads the electronic document to an electronic document repository. An electronic transaction manager determines when all of the required information from each of the parties is present and amalgamates all of the information into a single final electronic document. The parties required to execute the electronic document are notified that the electronic document is ready to be electronically signed and electronically notarized. The signatories go to a notary public or a mobile notary public may travel to a location designated by the requesting signatory. The signatory inputs a manual, hand-written signature to the electronic document, using a electronic signature capture input device. The notary public inputs a manual, hand-written signature to the electronic document, using the electronic signature capture input device. The notary public next affixes an electronic notary seal by way of the electronic notary seal input device. After affixing the notary public's signature and seal, a desktop manager automatically executes an electronic notary journal. The electronic notary journal consists of all of the information required by law to legally enforce the notarization of the electronic commerce transaction.
