Can a Colorado notary public notarize a document for a spouse?
Yes (Actually, it depends, but probably not a good idea) From the Colorado Secretary of States Web site: "You are not prohibited from witnessing and notarizing the signatures of a spouse or other relatives. However, a notary public who has a disqualifying interest in a transaction cannot legally perform any notarial act in connection with the transaction. If the document were to be questioned for any reason, the notarial act may be looked at more closely than if the notary was not a relative. Also, if the witnessed document is one from which you might benefit, your right to receive that benefit may be jeopardized. To avoid questions about your impartiality as a notary as well as accusations of undue influence, it is always safest for a signer to find a notary that he/she is not related to."

If a notary stamps a document for a corporation and they are a part of that corporation is that fraud?
Probably not. The notary in most American states is licensed by the secretary of state to perform notarial duties according to local statutes and regulations and it makes no difference who the "client" is. The notary must carry out the procedures as required by law. On the other hand, if the notary is "ordered" to violate the regulations and does so to keep his or her job, then it may not be fraud, but it is certainly a crime that needs to be dealt with appropriately. A notary is just assuring the person signing the document is the one signing the document. It does not assure anything about the content of the document...it can be "I swear I am not John Smith"...signed by John Smith and notarized by a notary assuring that it is indeed John Smith signing. So what could be the fraud the notary would commit?
