Risky Questions Signers Ask Notaries During Notarizations

Your duties as a Notary are strictly regulated by state law. In this video, we’ll talk about three examples of risky questions signers may ask you, and why they are potentially dangerous.

Always refuse any request to bend or break the rules or ignore proper procedure. If the signer won’t accept that, don’t proceed with the notarization. It’s better to have an unhappy signer than lose your commission or get sued. Risky Question #2: Can you help me prepare this document?: Many Notaries don’t realize that answering questions about a document, preparing it, or simply choosing the type of notarization on a signer’s behalf is against the law. Notaries who are not qualified attorneys, can be subject to civil or criminal liability for providing unauthorized legal advice. If a signer wants answers about a document, explain that answering could put their document at risk of being rejected because you are not an attorney and this would be the unauthorized practice of law. No one wants that. Risky Question #3: Can you accept a copy or picture of my ID?: While every state has its own rules when it comes to Notaries identifying signers, it’s important to only accept the original ID, not a copy or photo of the ID. The risk is without the original ID, you don’t know if the copy or photo has been altered or changed. Plus, a copy doesn’t include the security features that help prevent fraud, such as holograms or raised text. If the signer doesn’t have an original ID, refuse the notarization and invite them to return with satisfactory ID. Connect with the NNA: Blog: https://www.nationalnotary.org/notary...
