PREVENT MISUSE OF LOOSE FORMS: When stapling a “loose” Notary certificate to a document, it’s smart to take a few precautions to prevent its removal and fraudulent reattachment. In the certificate’s margin, write a brief description of the document, such as, “This certificate is attached to a grant deed dated 7/11/2010 and cosigned by Mary Smith.”  In your journal as an extra CYA…note that you’ve added a loose certificate and the way it was attached to the document. Example: “Loose certificate stapled to document, following signature page.” Learn more by joining us notaries in The Confident Notaries of North Carolina Facebook Group and in our members only upcoming courses.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST: If you,the notary, is a signer of, or an interested party to, or a beneficiary, or a grantor, or otherwise named in some other capacity in the document, cannot notarize the document. This also includes: Is serving as a the trustee in a deed of trust Is the drafter of the record Is the person to whom the document will be sent after recording, or Is the attorney of record to a party of the document as long ad the attorney who is acting as the notary is not also a party to the record individually or in some other representative or fiduciary capacity. Also in some cases, it may be possible for one person to sign before a Notary on behalf of another (the principal) as a subscribing witness, as an attorney in fact or in another representative capacity.  A Notary would be unwise, to notarize a power of attorney aka POA for a subscribing witness when the witness is the very person who would thereby be appointed attorney in fact. The witness has an obvious self-interest in the document and a possible motive for lying about the genuineness of the signature.  Likewise, a Notary would be unwise to notarize a deed for an attorney in fact acting on behalf of an absent person when the attorney in fact would thereby be granted the property. With all such conflicts of interest, the conscientious Notary should decline to perform the notarization.

NOTARIZING FOR AN ABSENT SIGNER: If someone asks you, the Notary, to notarize a signature of a person who is not present, they are requesting a criminal act. Both you, the notary, and the person you notarizing for could go to jail, be fined or both. Society trusts you, the Notary, to personally screen each signer for identity, willingness and awareness. This is impossible if the signer is not face to face before you at the time of the notarization. Under law, their word alone is not good enough.  It’s just an unlawful act for you, the Notary, to base a notarization on a telephone call or on mere familiarity with someone’s signature. To repeat, the document signer must appear face to face before you at the time of notarization - not before, not later. It is a criminal act to be persuaded by anyone to violate this rule.

DO NOT OFFER ADVICE: If you are a secretary or clerk who types important legal documents for others, you must be careful not to give legal advice nor tell your clients how to word a document. It is critical to remember that, as a nonattorney, you are prohibited from offering any advice or recommendations to the individual dictating the information. Transcribing the person’s words exactly as spoken will protect you from possible prosecution for the unauthorized practice of law.  Learn more by joining us notaries in The Confident Notaries of North Carolina Facebook Group and or Google Group.

CORRECTING VENUES: The venue portion of the notarial certificate is almost always filled in long before the notarization. In fact, many pre printed certificates already have the venue locations typed in the blanks. Much of the time, this isn’t a problem, because the agency drafting the document knows (more or less) where the notarization will be performed.  In the case of “less,” you may need to correct the venue. If the state and county do not match where you are actually performing the notarization, line through the incorrect information, write in the correct state and county, and initial and date the correction.
