Form and content of journal maintained on a tangible medium.
A. A journal maintained on paper or on any other tangible medium may be in any form
that meets the physical requirements in this chapter and the entry requirements in
Section 37(3) of the act (relating to journal).
B. The cover and pages inside the cover must be bound together by any binding method
that is designed to prevent the insertion, removal, or substitution of the cover or a
page. This includes glue, staples, grommets, or another binding, but does not include
the use of tape, paper clips, or binder clips.
C. Each page must be consecutively numbered from the beginning to the end of the
journal. If a journal provides two pages on which to record the required information
about the same notarial act, both pages may be numbered with the same number or
each page may be numbered with a different number. A page number must be
preprinted.
D. Each line, or entry if the journal is designed with numbered entry blocks, must be
consecutively numbered from the beginning to the end of the page. If a line extends
across two pages, the line must be numbered with the same number on both pages. A
line or entry number must be preprinted.
