Can notary sign for first cousin?
The function of a Notary is to provide confirmation that a signature is in fact the signature of the person claiming to have signed a document. A Notary cannot sign for anyone in the sense of signing a document instead of someone else.
Can a document with a date in the pass be notorized?
It depends. There are two types of notarial acts - an acknowledgment and an oath. When a notary takes an acknowledgment, the signer of the document appears before the notary and declares that he/she signed the document voluntarily. It does not matter how long ago the person signed it, and it does not need to be signed in the notary's presence. However, the date on the notary's certificate must be the date that the person actually appeared before the notary and the notary signed his name and affixed his seal. When a notary administers an oath on a paper document such as an affidavit, the person must sign in the notary's presence. Therefore, the document must be dated the date that the person appeared before the notary, took the oath and signed the document. A notary can never back-date or post-date a notarial certificate. The day that the signer appears in person before the notary, and the notary affixes his/her seal or stamp, is the date that should go in the notary's certificate. If the document is being acknowledged rather than sworn to, the date the document was executed/signed by the original signer is irrelevant.

Can a notary back date an acknowledgement if the person who needs the notary also back dates?
No, a notary public should never backdate an acknowledgement. The date on the notarial certificate must reflect the actual date the notarization takes place. Backdating can be considered illegal and unethical. It is the responsibility of the notary to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the notarial act.
Can a notary notarize a document from another state?
Yes. A Notary Public is verifying that you are who you represent yourself to be. You will be asked for photo ID, and likely to sign the document in front of the Notary. The Notarized document only verifies that it was signed by the person it was supposed to go to. It does not validate terms or legality in any other way.

How do you notarize a certificate of identity?
It depends on what you're asking. I suspect you mean, "How do you get a document notarized?" If so, you take the document to a Notary Public, sign the document in front of the Notary, and show ID. The Notary will stamp, date, and sign the document. You can usually find a Notary at a local bank. A Notary will normally charge you a small fee.
Where to place notary seal on documents?
