How to be a Twala Notary Public
The Supreme Court commissions you; Twala confirms your commission and sets you up to notarize. Open each step for what to do and what to submit.
Questions about the Supreme Court’s side? Visit its Electronic Notary Services website (opens in a new tab).
Take the free online training course at academy.twala.ai (opens in a new tab). This isn’t optional groundwork: the Supreme Court requires proof that you’ve completed training on an accredited ENF before it will commission you.
Once you finish, download your certificate of completion and submit it with your Supreme Court application in step 2. When you apply on Twala in step 4, you confirm that you completed the Twala ENP tutorial course.
Your Electronic Notarial Commission is issued by the Supreme Court’s Electronic Notary Administrator (ENA), not by Twala.
The Supreme Court processPay the Php 3,000 application fee through the JePS Payment Portal (opens in a new tab).
Register an account on the Philippine Judiciary Platform (PJP).
Submit your application together with the required documents, which typically include:
- ENP application form (opens in a new tab)
- Proof of payment of the application fee (JePS payment receipt)
- IBP Certificate of No Pending Case
- Proof of compliance with MCLE
- Professional Tax Receipt (PTR)
- Your Twala Academy certificate of completion, as proof of training on an accredited ENF
Wait for the initial assessment to complete.
Attend a virtual summary hearing conducted by the ENA to complete your application.
Wait for another evaluation. This is to ensure the applicant meets the qualification required to discharge the duties and responsibilities.
If approved, the Supreme Court will issue your Electronic Notarial Commission, valid for a two-year term.
For more information, visit the Supreme Court’s Electronic Notary Services website (opens in a new tab).
Once your SC Electronic Notarial Commission has been granted, create your Twala account and complete identity verification: your National ID or a government-issued ID, and a face scan. The application needs a current verification, which has its own fee, shown before you start.
Open Account and profile and click Apply as ENP. The application has ten steps, and you can save it and finish later:

Click Submit for review. While a Twala reviewer checks your details and documents against your commission and credentials, Account and profile shows Application under review. You’re told in Twala and by email once a decision is made.
Once you’re approved, you’re an accredited Electronic Notary Public on Twala: you can perform notarizations, take appointments, answer copy requests, and be listed on the Partner Network. You choose one of five notarial acts for each notarization:
- Acknowledgment
- Oath
- Affirmation
- Signature witnessing
- Jurat
Each act you perform spends one notary credit, when you press Request to request its payment.
Two more things to set up in your Twala account:
- Save your signature. Under My signature in the account menu, drawn, typed, or uploaded. Twala copies your saved signature into the record of every act you perform. Your notarial seal is drawn for you from your name and roll number.
- Add a payout account. Under Payouts in the account menu, so clients can pay your fees online. Without one you can still collect fees as a cash payment, paid to you directly.Payout channel typeBank or e-walletAccount typeAccount number or mobile numberAccount holder’s nameAddressPayout frequencyTax details
Twala keeps no platform fee from a notarization fee. Payouts arrive on the schedule you choose, less withholding tax.
No subscription required to notarize. Just buy credits.
You don’t need a subscription to become a Twala Notary Public. Buy eNotary credits and you’re ready to notarize. Each act you perform spends one credit, and credits never expire.
- Package
- ₱2,000.00 + 12% VAT
- Price per credit
- ₱75.00
Each square is one credit. A credit is spent each time you perform an act, and never expires.

Frequently asked questions
Want to know more? Fees, timelines, renewals, credits, and referrals.
How much does the ENP application cost?
The application fee is Php 3,000.00. The Supreme Court sets and periodically updates the application fee, payable through the Judiciary ePayment System (JePS). Check the current fee schedule on the Supreme Court’s eNotary Services page (opens in a new tab) before you file.
How long does the process take?
The Supreme Court has not published a fixed processing time, since it depends on the volume of applications and the scheduling of virtual summary hearings. Budget for several weeks between filing your SC application and receiving your commission, and plan your Twala application after that. Twala’s own review has no set time either: you’re told in Twala and by email as soon as a decision is made.
How long is the ENP commission valid?
An Electronic Notarial Commission is valid for a two-year term.
Do I need to renew it?
Yes. You must file for renewal at least 30 days before your commission expires. Renewal is done through an electronic application to the ENA, and generally requires:
- The ENF(s) you use to perform electronic notarial acts
- Your current contact details and address
- Proof of payment of the renewal fee and current professional tax
- A written undertaking to comply with the Rules and the Electronic Notarization Data Sharing requirements
- A copy of your existing Electronic Notarial Commission
- Proof that you remain a member of the Bar in good standing, with current OBC/IBP clearances and MCLE/ULAS compliance
Failure to renew on time results in automatic removal from the Directory of ENPs, which will block your access to Twala and other accredited ENFs.
Do I need a subscription to notarize on Twala?
No. Applying is free on any plan, and to perform notarizations you only need notary credits; there’s no subscription requirement. A subscription (Professional, Business, Business Plus, or Enterprise) is only needed if you want additional capabilities like the Document Management System, Contract Lifecycle Management, AI tools, or the ability to add team members.
What’s the difference between eNotary credits and a subscription plan?
Credits are what you spend to perform notarial acts and can be bought as needed. Each act spends one credit when you press Request to request its payment. The credit isn’t returned if the act is later canceled because the fee wasn’t paid, and denying an act costs nothing. Credits never expire. A subscription plan is optional and gives you a broader set of Twala features beyond notarization.
What is the Twala Notary Early Access Program?
It’s a one-time offer that upgrades you to the Business plan (₱43,000/year value) with an extra user seat, 12M AI tokens, unlimited envelope signing, and enrollment in the Twala Partners Network Program, for ₱5,600 (VAT inclusive; ₱5,000 + 12% VAT) that already includes 150 notary credits (₱10,000 value).
What happens after my Early Access year ends?
The Business plan upgrade is valid for 1 year. If you don’t subscribe to a paid plan afterward, your account goes back to the free Personal plan. You lose access to the bundled Business plan features, but you can keep performing eNotarization as long as you still have notary credits, and you can always buy more.
How do referral rewards work?
Every Twala account has its own referral code, under Refer a friend in the account menu. When someone uses your code on their first purchase of a plan or a package, you both receive the rewards Twala has set for the program, such as notary credits. Refer a friend always shows the current rewards.
I am a newly admitted lawyer and do not yet have an MCLE Certificate of Compliance. Can I still apply to become an Electronic Notary Public (ENP)?
Yes. Lawyers newly admitted in February 2025 or anytime in 2026 may still apply as an ENP even if they do not yet have an MCLE Certificate of Compliance for the 8th and 9th compliance periods.
For your application, you may indicate “N/A” in the fields requiring MCLE Compliance details in your BARISTA Membership. In lieu of an MCLE Certificate of Compliance, you may submit either:
- A signed letter addressed to the Interim Electronic Notary Services, stating your acknowledgment of the applicable MCLE compliance period and your undertaking to complete the requirement within the prescribed period; or
- A Certification from the MCLE Office confirming the same, if one was previously issued for your application for a traditional notarial commission.
On Twala’s application, leave “Were you admitted to the Bar before 2026?” unticked if you were newly admitted in 2026 and enter your date of admission instead. No MCLE certificate is asked of you.
What should I indicate for ULAS compliance if I do not have the required details?
For your Supreme Court application, you may simply enter “N/A” in the membership compliance field. No supporting document is required to be uploaded for ULAS compliance.
On Twala’s application, the Unified legal aid service step is optional. Leave it empty and no ULAS certificate is asked; fill it in and the certificate becomes a required upload.
