No. If the notary is in Virginia so is the document. I suppose one could situate the notary in Virginia right next to the state line and situate the document a foot away in North Carolina and have the notary reach across the line, which rather begs the question of the relationship the notary's hand bears to the notary's body. If the question is of the validity of the notarization, yes so long as the notary's commission is in effect. Notaries are designated by state civil authority to be trustworthy verifiers of the true identity of persons present to sign documents, their purpose is only to corroborate that the signatories are whom they purport to be. (They do not certify that whatever is signed is true or legal, only that John Doe signatory appears to actually be John Doe signatory.) As state civil functionaries, Constitutional full faith and credit should apply.

If the document is signed in Pennsylvania in the presence of a Pennsylvania notary, that notary can notarize the signature.
