As some one who usually hates on the blockchain, this actually sounds like a very reasonable use for it. It's a solid step up from the current system of embossed seals, the only potential pitfall it adds is some additional complexity (but I can very easily imagine platforms taking that on, ala DocuSign but for Notaries). My only concern is how this would fare out in an a court system that is constantly behind the times.



The only thing using a blockchain is being used for there is timestamping.

This can be done by multiple trusted third parties just fine.
