Notary Accessories
Show your love this month by making sure your documents such as power of attorney and advanced health care directive are up to date. It may be difficult for you to assign these documents later. You and your family will have peace of mind when completed.
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.
