Notary Public
Typically, a notary public is an individual in a position of power, that is tasked with verifying the authenticity of important legal documents, paperwork, and transactions. Their primary role is basically to oversee the signing of important paperwork and legal documents and to ensure that people that signed are who they say they are and that they have signed where they were supposed to, when they were supposed to. Usually a notary public is a public official that has been appointed by a state government as an anti-fraudulent method.
Certified Notary Signing Agent
A Notary Signing Agent is a Notary who is specially trained to handle and notarize loan documents. For lenders, Notary signing agents are the critical final link to complete the loan. A Notary signing agent is hired as an independent contractor to ensure that real estate loan documents are executed by the borrower, notarized, and returned for processing on time. Completing this critical part of the loan process enables the loan to be funded.
A certified notary signing agent must be a commissioned notary public, complete a loan signing agent course, pass the certification exam and pass the background check. Our notary public official has been vetted to conduct and perform loan signing notarization for the borrowers.
Difference Between a Notary and a Signing Agent
A notary public simply witnesses signatures — that’s it — and charges per signature witnessed. A loan signing agent witnesses signatures AND knows how to walk a borrower through the loan signing process. That is the difference between a regular notary public and a loan signing agent.
Notary Appointment
When scheduling for a notary appointment, please ensure that you have all the required forms completely filled-out but leave the signatory line(s) blank prior to the appointment date and have a valid identification card readily available. This will result in expediting your notarization in a timely manner.
California Notary Acceptable Identification
A California notary public can establish a signer’s identity using the following forms of identification. Keep in mind these forms of identification must either be current or have been issued within the past 5 years.
- An identification card or driver’s license issued by the California Department of Motor Vehicles
- A United States passport
- An inmate identification card issued by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, if the inmate is in custody in California state prison
- Any form of inmate identification issued by a sheriff’s department, if the inmate is in custody in a local detention facility
A California notary public may also rely on any one of the following forms of identification. These forms of ID must include a photograph, description of the person, signature of the person, and an identifying number.
- A valid consular identification document issued by a consulate from the applicant’s country of citizenship or a valid passport from the applicant’s country of citizenship.
- A driver’s license issued by another state or by a Canadian or Mexican public agency authorized to issue driver’s licenses.
- An identification card issued by another state.
- A United States military identification card (Caution: Current military identification cards might not contain all the required information).
- An employee identification card issued by an agency or office of the State of California, or an agency or office of a city, county, or city and county in California.
- An identification card issued by a federally recognized tribal government.
A work identification card has no expiration and therefore, is not a legitimate form of ID. The ID must contain a signature, physical description, photo and expiration date to be acceptable.
Signer’s ID Not Available
What happens if a signer doesn’t possess one of the forms of identification mentioned on this list? In that case, two credible witnesses will need to vouch for the signer.
Credible Witnesses
Credible witnesses must personally know the signer. In accordance with California law, these individuals are required to present a valid form of identification, take an oath, and sign the notary journal. A credible witness must neither be named in nor benefit financially from the document being signed.
Prohibited Notarial Acts
A notary cannot notarize the document under these circumstances:
- If signer is not physically present.
- If the document contains missing pages or blanks that should be complete at the time of notarization.
- Post-date a notarial certificate or date it earlier than the actual date of notarization.
- If the notarial certificate is blank.
- If the signer cannot be positively identified through personal knowledge or satisfactory evidence of identification.
- If the document is not “original,” bearing the signer’s original signature.
- If the required notarial act is not indicated by the document, the signer or someone connected to the document.
Notaries Cannot:
- Authenticate or validate objects.
- Give advice or opinions that should be given by an attorney.
- Proceed with a notarization if the signer appears confused or mentally incapable of understanding the transaction.
- May not proceed with notarization if they think the transaction is illegal.
Examples of Documents that Cannot be Notarized are:
- Birth and Death Certificates. These are recordable documents and a certified copy can only be issued by the governmental agency. However, a notary public has the authority to certify copies of original documents that are not recordable in the public records.
- Photographs. Notarizing photographs is not an authorized notarial act. However, we can notarize a statement about a photograph with the photograph as an attachment.
- Names that don’t match. The name on the document does not match the name on the ID.
- Documents with blanks. Documents must be complete and have no blank spaces. However, if there are blanks that are to be left blank, the signer will be asked to insert “to be added later” or “N/A”.
- Faxed or copied signatures. A photocopied signature may never be notarized.
- Backdate or forward date a notarization. We cannot backdate or forward notarization date. The document can bear the date it is created or becomes effective but document is notarized with the date the day of notarization.
- Preparing or choosing the document. Notaries are prohibited from preparing or choosing the documents for signing. The only forms we have are notarization forms when one isn’t provided with the document to be notarized.
