That said, many of today’s notary companies are notarizing documents on a daily basis which are incomplete, incorrect and invalid due to the painful truth that our world is wrought with incompetent notaries — a serious problem that the public knows little about about until they learn about it the hard way.
The truth is that hundreds of documents are submitted every day by unsuspecting persons who have been mislead to believe that said documents are certified papers bearing the required notary public stamp; only to have these documents rejected by county clerks and consulates for leaving out required notary wording, including incorrect information, using blurry stamps and a variety of other reasons.
Everyday these untrained and seemingly clueless notaries put countless legal documents and contractual arrangements at risk, from important documents such as a Power-of-Attorney, Loan Documents, Prenuptial Agreements, Travel Consent Forms and Wills.
Most of the notaries notarizing today have received little or no training. They may study for a few hours or days, take the notary license test and then just start stamping away with no real understanding of the principles of notarizing or the mandatory notary requirements.
A high percentage of notaries do not know even the most basic notarization requirement:
That a notarized document include either what is known as a notary “acknowledgement” or a “jurat”, — The two types of notary statements that are the core of a notarization. Having just the notary’s commission stamp and signature on a document, a common practice by many notaries, does not make it notarized.
You do not just have to take my word for it. In fact a study by one state association of notaries a few years ago confirmed that “a majority of notaries” were “not performing their duties properly.” The study took place in New York, but it could have been done anywhere in the United States with the same results.
Another mistake notaries make is related to the location where the notarization takes place. The notary section must include the notary “venue”, which is the state and county where the notarization took place. Instead of writing in where the notarization took place, many notaries often write in the county in which they have their notary commission filed, or they do not see that the notary location is completely omitted from the document and do not add it.
Notary customers are constantly caught off-guard by this negligence or incompetence and it often has major consequences. Frequently, a customer will end up waiting in a government agency line for several hours to get a notarized document approved, only to have to start from scratch when the document is rejected because the notary had no idea what he or she was doing.
The notary customer may even have a flight later that day that will have to be delayed or cancelled due to not being able to get his or her documents properly approved in time. While this author is not advocating gambling, it would be a safe bet that there are many more disasters that incompetent or inexperienced notaries have caused that I am not aware of.
