Use an Embosser! Emboss the document signed along with your attached notary acknowledgment/jurat! Do it in such a way that half of the embossing is on the signed page and the other half is on your notary certificate. This is an extra precaution to ensure that your certificate is fully “attached” to the important document presented. Go ahead and staple the documents together afterward.

Another way to deter fraud is to apply a special memo with your acknowledgment/jurat certificate. The memo should state the document name, it’s number of pages, it’s date, and the signers involved. Many companies sell notary certificates that include an optional section allowing a notary to state this information. It is a great idea!

Make sure to take notes for your notary journal too, if a questionable situation ends up in court, you should be prepared with a well recorded journal entry. Case Closed.

Ultimately, the reason for physically attaching certificates (by means of a staple or otherwise) to a notarized document is so that documents cannot be exchanged or altered in the future, this fraud is being prevented.

Did you know that SD Signings takes extra precautions with every signing. We go over all the necessary procedures with the signers to ensure that the documents return correctly. We complete personal checklists to guarantee that we have completed all of our necessary tasks. We double-check each page for any document blanks, scratchy dates, or missing signatures.

We make sure the signing is done just once. No more, no less.

On many occasions SD Signings notaries will drive the extra miles to see a satisfactory identification that reads all the correct names. That’s right, with the signer’s permission, we will leave the signing location and follow a signer to obtain a proper ID. This is crucial to identifying an indiviual properly. We do this so that others are not affected. It is a courtesy, and it protects Californians and others from fraud.  It also provides that a transaction affecting multiple parties can process without the delay of redrafting docs. In a loan transaction many people have worked hard for this transaction to process!  It is better to drive the extra mile to get a job done right.

Unfortunately, if there is no identification, whether a physical ID Card or Credible Witnesses, then the notary will continue to protect all agencies from likely fraud, and politely decline. Fortunately, that typically isn’t the case, the signers and transaction coordinators are pleased with a job well done!
