DEPLOY-1230 Shipping on December 08, 2025
Certify transaction — new!
We’re introducing a new transaction workflow, Certify, for creating cryptographically signed records that are tied to proven digital identities. Certify is available for certifying documents and will be for other data types. See the Certify page for more details (RX-1723).
- Availability: Individual retail users to start
- If you’re a business or real estate user, please reach out to Sales to discuss potential use-cases for Certify!
- Release stage: General availability for retail users
Persistent identity — new!
Reverifying your identity for repeat notarizations can be cumbersome. That’s why we’re introducing the ability to save your digital identity with Proof to become part of the Proof Authorization Network. Users prompted to complete IAL2 level verification have the option to save their identity, resulting in faster authentication (MFA and face-scan) the next time they complete a transaction (RX-793). See Introducing Persistent Identity: The Foundation of Repeatable Trust for more information.
- Audience: Individual retail users
- Availability: Individual retail users who have completed at least 10 transactions with Proof
- If you’re a business or real estate user, please reach out to Sales. We’ll follow with releasing this to other Proof transaction workflows (Sign, Identify).
- Release stage: General availability for retail users
Rename documents
We now support the ability to rename documents from within the document editor. Simply click into the document name in the top left of the document editor to update (BIZ-8489).
- Audience: All
- User roles: Users with access to document prep
- Availability: Default change
- Transaction types: Document editor for draft transactions
Recipient lookup
We now support recipient lookup in our transaction creation form. This means we’ll automatically save a sender’s transaction recipients and contacts to autofill their information. Upon typing in a recipient field, senders will see the new search results list of people they’ve sent prior transactions to. Read Send a transaction to a saved recipient for details and instructions (BIZ-8385).
- Audience: Business, real estate, notaries sourcing transactions (NSTs)
- User roles: Users with send and manage permissions
- Transaction types: All
Instant payout for notaries
We’ve enabled instant payouts for notaries who use an eligible Visa debit card, allowing funds earned from completed notarizations to be deposited within minutes instead of waiting for the standard payout window. This upgrade gives notaries faster access to their earnings and a more predictable payment experience (NX-5913).
- Audience: On-demand notaries (ODNs)
- Availability: Limited availability; rolling out to notary subsets
Refinements to notary home page
We continue to refine the new notary homepage! This release includes updates to a few touch points to ensure clarity, cleanliness, and ease of action (NX-6156, NX-6154, NX-6153, NX-6152).
- Audience and availability: On-demand notaries (ODNs) and notaries sourcing transactions (NSTs)
