Introduction:
What do immigration bottlenecks, delayed court filings, and real estate fraud have in common?
They all stem from one outdated system: paper-based documentation.
For decades, critical government and business processes in Africa have been stalled by forgery-prone, slow, and non-compliant document validation systems. But that is finally changing.
At ToNote, we’re pioneering a future where documentation is not only digital, but also legally binding, instantly verifiable, and globally accessible.
The Problem is Systemic, and So Is Our Solution
From ministries to multinationals, document trust is a universal pain point. Our research shows:
- 9 in 10 African institutions still rely on paper
- Fraud and forgery cost the continent over $148 billion annually
- High-value processes like cross-border trade, property transfers, and legal certifications are stalled by identity and verification issues
To fix this, we’re not just digitizing processes—we’re re-architecting trust.
What We’ve Built:
ToNote isn’t a tool. It’s infrastructure.
✅ TONOTARIZE – Africa’s first online notary platform, backed by the Supreme Court
✅ TOSIGN – Advanced e-signatures tied to national ID numbers
✅ A.R.K. (Authentic Records Keeper) – Secure digital locker for instantly verifiable documents
✅ API Layer – For governments, regulators, and businesses to embed trust into their workflows
Whether you’re a real estate consultant, a foreign affairs officer, or a bank onboarding clients, ToNote makes it easy to know one thing:
This document is real. This identity is verified. This process is compliant.
A National Shift, Not Just a Startup Play
We’ve worked hand-in-hand with regulators, legislators, and public institutions. The result?
- Deployment of notary.gov.ng, Nigeria’s official notarization portal
- Over 2,650 verified notaries enrolled
- Partnerships with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, courts, and private legal associations
- Legal reforms enabling remote notarization and digital identity linkage
We are proud to be the default digital notarization infrastructure for Nigeria—with plans to expand across the continent.
A Future Where Trust is Programmable
Imagine if every embassy, bank, or government agency could verify a document instantly—right from its source.
Imagine that audit logs, legal compliance, and fraud prevention were built-in, not bolted on.
That’s what we’re building at ToNote.
This is digital sovereignty.
This is compliance at scale.
This is the future of documentation in Africa—and we’re proud to be leading it.
