Can a notary notarized a document the same day that his commission expire?

If the Notary's appointment was valid at the the time they witnessed the signature, it remains valid even after the Notary's commission expires.
HOWEVER, if the Notary's commission was expired at the time they "witnessed" it, it is not a valid notarization.
Another Perspective
An expired notary may affect the legality of the document. A legal document with an expired notary can be challenged. In some cases, the expired date is a typographical error and an affidavit can be executed by the notary stating the correct expiration date and that their license was in effect at the time of the signing. If possible, you should contact the notary to notarize the document again with a valid expiration date or, if that's not possible, have the document executed again with a valid notary seal.
If the document cannot be corrected and its validity is challenged then it is up to a court to determine whether the expired notary seal will invalidate the document. State laws vary. In some states statutory provisions will "cure" a recorded instrument with an expired notary after a certain time period has passed.

∙ 13y agoThe signature on the document(s) is invalid (possibly rendering the documents legally invalid), and the ex-Notary has left themselves open to prosecution.

Another View: Unless otherwise stated in that particular state's laws, a Notary is a Notary up until midnight of the date on which their commission expires.

Does notary stamp expires in India?
A notary stamp does not expire in India. The notarized document may get to an expiry date but the stamp hardly expires.
In the state of Georgia does the notarized document expire when the notary stamp expires?
The notary stamp has no affect on the validity of the document. A notary is typically appointed for a period of a few years. No one has to go and get all their documents 're-notarized' to keep them valid.
DOES a notarized document become a binding contract?
The notary seal and notary's signature does not make a document a binding contract. The signatures on a contract can be notarized. However, when a document if notarized, the notary is simply stating that to the best of their knowledge the signature is that of the person signing the document. In other words, the notary verifies a signature that they witness. A contract would be binding once the participants sign it in front of the notary and the document is notarized.

What if a licensed notary emails an unlicensed notary soliciting work in order to trap this notary?
I am unsure what an "unlicensed" notary is. If a notary's commission has expired, that person is no longer a notary and cannot legally notarize documents. If a notary with an expired-commission notarizes a document, the expired-commission notary can face fines or jail-time. The legal status of the improperly notarized document varies from state to state. Asking an expired notary to work, via email or otherwise, is not a crime and does not necessarily constitute an attempt at fraud. If an uncommissioned notary is soliciting work, that person is committing fraud.

Can a Virginia Notary notarize a document that is to be recorded in another state if the document is signed and notarized in Virginia?
A Notary Public can witness that a signature is that of the person signing, and they can witness that a copy of a document is a true copy. The state where the original document came from does not matter.

Notary Public's can notarize any document they are presented with. It is up to the holder of the document to determine whether that notarization will stand up, or not, wherever it is presented - NOT the Notary's.
Is a notary legally binding?
A notarized document is not necessarily a legally binding document. A properly written and properly signed and propely notarized document may help you in court, but the only thing a notarized document proves is that the people who signed the document were who they said they were.
