The notarization of a document WILL: detect and deter fraud when the proper steps of notarization are followed.
3 Steps of Notarization
The process of notarization involves three critical steps that a Notary Public should always follow:
1) Screen the signer
2) Make a journal entry
3) Complete the notarial certificate.
Screen the Signer:
Not all notarizations require the document to be signed in front of the Notary Public, (e.g. acknowledgment, copy
certification) but you should always screen the signer. Ensure that the person or persons signing the document(s)
are who they say they are. Ask for an I.D. with their signature to verify who they are. Personal Appearance by all
individual(s) requesting notarization is required at the time of notarization in ALL instances. Determine Willingness -
Make sure the signer is not being forced to sign the document. If you suspect coercion, it is best to refuse to
notarize. Determine Awareness - Do not notarize the document if you have a reasonable belief that the person
signing the document is not aware of the significance of the transaction. Determine Identity - You must have
satisfactory evidence that a person is the individual whose true signature is on the document.
Make a Journal Entry:
Make a journal entry of all notarial activity, whether you notarize the document or you refuse to notarize it. Provide
enough detail that might be relevant, in case of fraud.
Complete the Notarial certification:
Affix your stamp or seal to the document and sign it and date it after you have witnessed the signer(s) sign the
document(s) and verified that they have provided valid I.D.s that confirm their identity and signature.
A notarization DOES NOT:
(1) prove the truthfulness of statements contained in the document
(2) legalize or validate the document
(3) by itself protect a person's rights to his/ her artistic creations or inventions
