Documents that Cannot Be Notarized
At NotaryPublicCollinCounty.com, we adhere to strict guidelines and regulations set forth by notaries and government officials when providing notary services for financial or business documents. It’s crucial to understand that certain documents may not meet these standards and thus cannot be notarized. These regulations are in place to safeguard the public and uphold the integrity of the notary profession.
Here are some reasons why a document may not be eligible for notarization:
a-Post-Dated or Backdated Certificates:
Notarizing documents with dates later than the notarization date or using backdated certificates is considered forgery and is subject to penalties, including fines.
b-Lack of Positive Identification:
If the signer cannot be positively identified, the document cannot be notarized.
c-Absence of Signer:
Notarization requires the signer to be physically present. If they are not, the document cannot be notarized.
d-Incomplete or Missing Pages:
Documents with blank sections, missing pages, or incomplete information cannot be notarized.
e-Signer Incapacity:
If the signer appears confused or mentally incapable of understanding the transaction, notarization cannot proceed.
f-Illegality of Transaction:
Notaries must refrain from notarizing transactions they believe to be illegal.
