Notary Accessories

Wonder how you prove your identity to a notary? Proof of identity is typically established using a valid drivers license, California ID or passport. Credible witnesses can be used in the rare case that a valid form of identification can't be supplied.

The notary accessories that you might need to perform notarizations include the notary acknowledgement, the notorial seal, the notary journal, a stapler, notary Jurat's, and the ink pad for thumb prints. Keep your notary supplies together under lock and key. Purchase the notary accessories only from authorized dealers. Have extra notary accessories in a separate location. Many notaries keep there accessories in a briefcase. If that is the case for you, then you might want to also have a set of supplies at your home. If your seal or stamp gets lost of stolen, you are out of work as a notary public until you can replace the accessories. Just be organized and plan ahead.

Notary Publics' are regulated by the Secretary of State for each individual state. Therefore, a notary may only do notaries physically in the state in which they are licensed.

To find a notary that did a past notarization, look at the SEAL (stamp) on the document. Contact the county recorder in the state of the county that is on the seal.

A public notary cannot advise a person on law matters. They are not professionals in the area, nor does the notary have the authority to do so. The only time a notary can prepare legal paperwork is if they are also an attorney.
