What else can I help you with?
It is the Notarys responsibility to establish the identity of the affiant to his or her satisfaction?
Yes. This statement is correct.
Are doctors notarys?
A doctor can be a notary, but has to apply and pass the test like anyone else. Doctors are not automatically notaries.
What would the fine be to a notary public official for not verifying a signature on a mortgage?
The rules and regulations under which Notarys operate may differ from state to state. If a Notary fails to require verification of the identity of a signatory to a mortgage they would be subject to the actions called for by the statutes of their state.
Is it illegal for a notary public to fill out an all purpose acknowledgement?
I'm not certain what the all purpose acknowlegement your speaking of is - however -A notary is basically only confirms the person signing the document has been identified as the person signing it (preventing forgery). The document can say anything...even "I swear the name signed below is not my name"... but the notary assures that signature is valid. Notarys do not confirm any legal power to the document or should even be concerned with it's contents.It is true that in some States a notary can also give a legal Oath.
