Abstract
A notary document processing system and related methods are described. The notary document processing system receives files uploaded by users, processes them by applying a document ID, time stamp or other information to each page of the document, and converts them to read only format for storage. Once the document is processed and stored in the system, they cannot be edited or otherwise changed by any user including the owner of the document. The system makes stored documents available to the owner or other users upon the owner'"'"'s request (document shared by owners) or permission (document requested by others). The users may also request others to verify the contents of documents. The system and method provide a way of preserving original versions of documents to be used later for purposes of evidencing the dates and contents of documents, evidencing agreement between parties as to the contents of documents, etc.
