Abstract – The Notary office is responsible for issuing a variety of important certificates, but still uses manual processes and relies on paper documents from other government agencies. India is a developing country. Going digital is one of the crucial steps in the development of India, and this manual process causes a slew of problems. Non-local paper materials are rejected by the Notarial Office due to their reduced credibility in the local area, and as a result, cross-border services are unavailable. Because copies of paper items have been stored, it is also easy to leak sensitive information. And with increase in pollution, the usage of paper increases the strain on the Mother Nature. This is where need of block chain arises. In this paper, an online notarial application based on block chain technology has been presented. Eclipse platform, in which users will be able to send application for any document generation to notary admin, has been used. The notary admin will verify all the documents and process it. The documents sent will be encrypted by SHA 256 algorithm and the documents will be saved using the Inter Planetary File System (IPFS). This will improve security of documents and transparency of the process. The customer gets fast and the cost-effective services. The paper also includes, introduction to Block chain technology, its advantages, drawbacks, different types and how blocks are secured.
