The profession of the notary is at a cross roads. The Notary operates in a world of paperbased transactions where the use of traditional signatures and seals are mandatory. The practices and procedures which have evolved over centuries simply cannot be applied directly in a digital environment.

The evolution of mobile telephony and social media platforms gave birth to different new concepts of electronic commerce (e-commerce), such as mobile commerce (m-commerce) and social commerce (s-commerce).

Many researchers did look into e-commerce and its different concepts, but not so many did look into ms-commerce, especially when it comes to exploring the consumers’ perception of this concept and their s
