Hello Walter:

There was no way that I could find that would allow one into the Thawte list of notaries without first signing up.

Regards,

   ...for some basics:
 Explanation of the web of trust of PGP:
http://www.rubin.ch/pgp/weboftrust.en.html


   ...for some specifics:
 Trust gets personal with Thawte's Web of Trust (WOT):

How do I get my name in my Cert?
(http://www.thawte.com/html/SUPPORT/wot/general.html) In order to get your
identity assessed through the WOT you need to first check if there are
Notaries in your area. CLICK HERE for a directory of notaries.
   ...so I clicked there and it wanted an ID. Apparently one cannot look
at the list without first "joining." Now I do not mind joining (it is
apparently free), but before I do - does anyone know of a way to view the
list of Notaries?


If there are notaries in your area you can set up a meeting to get your
identity assessed. If there are none nearby then you need to go through
the TTP system, which you can read about here.
   ...which system apparently costs $25US.
