The process of document notarization in the Philippines is vulnerable to institutional corruption due to a lack of a centralized source of truth.

摘要

The process of document notarization in the Philippines is vulnerable to institutional corruption due to a lack of a centralized source of truth. Recent initiatives by the Philippine government to introduce a digital-ready national ID system allow for an e-government-based approach to tackle this problem. This paper proposes an institutional and technical framework for such an approach, describes the implementation of a minimal viable system, and provides recommendations based on its performance under test loads. Such a framework must minimally comprise of institutional support, a storage for documents and notarization records, a mechanism for identity validation, and a physical information format along with a reader of this format. This proposed framework was implemented minimally and tested. Recommendations based on these tests were made with an emphasis on improving performance and technical rigor.
