A notary can only act within the state which appointed them. Commissioners of deeds are appointed by a certain state to "notarize" signatures in another state or foreign country, for documents to be used in the appointing state.

For example, a Florida notary public can only notarize signatures in the State of Florida. If the Governor of Florida appoints a Commissioner of Deeds for Mexico, then that Commissioner of Deeds can notarize signatures in Mexico, only on documents that are going to be used in Florida.

This is how it works in most states, except in New York City, where a Commissioner of Deeds is the same as a notary but may only act within New York City, whereas a notary in New York can act throughout the state.
