Not all notarizations are straightforward and not all notary state laws are the same. What appears to be a simple act of notarizing documents to the signer is sometimes a complicated situation for the notary.

Every state has different requirements on the types of notarizations allowed. It is always the responsibility of the notary, not the signer, to ensure that they are practicing in accordance to the law when it comes to providing notarization. 

This is especially true when dealing with special notary documents such as:

  • Notarizing Documents in a Foreign Language
  • Notarizing Wills
  • Notarization by Copy Certification

Always protect yourself by researching the requirement in your state for a document you are unfamiliar with. Never make assumptions.
