  • I get requests to notarize these handwritten, or typed letters quite often. Always check with your Secretary of State or the NNA to be sure you are in alignment with the law, but here is how these requests are typically handled.

    Hello, Bill! In this specific case, would it be ok to staple the loose Notarial Certificate and then use an (inkless) Embosser on both pages, after completing the Certificate with your Official Ink Seal Stamp, to make it a little more certain to others that it belongs to the written document? I appreciate your thoughts on this, since there is nothing clear about it in the A.R.S. or AZ S.O.S. Rules/Manual. Thank you! #GodsLove

    For a handwritten letter regarding an agreement between 2 individuals on transferring the car title once the car is paid off. Basically person 1 took out a car under his name, person 2 is agreeing to give car payments until paid off. Finally person 1 is agreeing to transfer title to person 2. What certificate would I use? I would have to get both parties signatures or be ok for only one? Thanks

    I totally just botched this today . I filled out my name and info signed and then added my stamp to a handwritten letter . She was just trying to get her license in another state she was an older woman , without documents but she had an expired license in which I was able to verify her identity . The problem was I totally forgot about the notary wording i.e the attachment . Do you think her document will be rejected ?

    • @Freekygrandma
      @Freekygrandma 3 года назад +4

      Yes he didn’t explain that. And a lot of notaries don’t know this, so I think that’s why they just stamp it. But an acknowledgment confirms the identity of the signer who acknowledges that they have signed the record. An acknowledgment does not require that a record be signed in the Notary's presence. Jurat notarizations are required for transactions where the signer must swear to the content of the document, such as all affidavits and pleadings in court. Therefore, an oath must be given to the signer. It is a certification on an affidavit declaring when, where and before whom it was sworn. However, jurat notarizations do not prove a document is true, legal, valid or enforceable. I know this is late late but I hope this helps someone.

    • @NotaryCoach
      @NotaryCoach  4 года назад +4

      Hey John, in most states, you, as the Notary, don't actually get to decide or recommend that. Its considered legal advice if you do. The signer must decide which they want. You can describe the difference, and they make the choice.

  • @TheHeldover
    @TheHeldover 6 лет назад +1

    I feel dumb asking this question. If you attach a loose acknowledgment, do you stamp the document AND the acknowledgement or only acknowledgment?

    • @NotaryCoach
      @NotaryCoach  6 лет назад +4

      Hey Michael, in most cases, I would say this is a state-specific question and you should check with the Secretary of State. But, logically, which can be dangerous in this business, you only stamp the attachment. Sometimes the document will have a notary block acknowledgement on it as well, but you are attaching a different one to make sure legal language is correct. You would still only stamp the attachmement. Again, better to check in with the State to make sure you are in compliance.

    How would we know if we need to attach an acknowledgment or a jurat certificate ? Do we ask the signer?

    • @NotaryCoach
      @NotaryCoach  2 года назад +1

      Yes, exactly. As the Notary Public, you do not want to advise them of which certificate they will need. That is Unauthorized Practice of Law in some cases. Instead, describe the notarial acts at your disposal in your state, typically an acknowledgment or a jurat, and ask them which they would prefer. If they are sending the document to someone else, like an agency, they may need to call that receiving party and ask them what they want.

      Hello @Yasmin, I think you might consider a virtual Notarization. As long as the party that will receive the documents can/will accept what is called Remote Online Notarization on their documents, you can do this via webcam and technology. Our friends at www.cyberizeit.com can help. At the very least, you can get some professional guidance on what may or may not work.

    SO YOU NOTARIZE THE LETTER OR YOUR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT?

    • @Freekygrandma
      @Freekygrandma 3 года назад +1

      Acknowledgment, and on most certificates there is an optional block where you can fill out describing the document that you are notarizing such as “Power of Attorney” and any other identifying information. This way your acknowledgment can’t be attached to any other document. Hope this helps...
