A notary public must use a certificate that complies with state laws and regulations governing notarial acts. While they may have options for different types of certificates (such as acknowledgment, jurat, or certification of a copy), they cannot choose any certificate they wish; it must be appropriate for the specific transaction and purpose. It's important for notaries to be familiar with and adhere to their jurisdiction's requirements.
To obtain a notary commission certificate, you typically need to meet certain eligibility requirements set by your state, such as being at least 18 years old, passing a background check, and completing a notary training course. You will then need to submit an application to the appropriate state agency, pay any required fees, and take an exam. Once approved, you will receive your notary commission certificate.
A notarial certificate should include details such as the date, location, type of notarial act performed, identification of the signer, notarial seal or stamp, and the notary's signature. It should also clearly state the notary's commission expiration date and any other relevant information required by state laws.
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.
The original should be good in whatever language it is in and in any country. But you can have a Notary Public write a translation and notarize it.
There is no such thing as a "warranty deeds notary". A notary public in the U.S. can notarize any document.
In most U.S. states, a notary can only affix their stamp or seal next to or underneath their signature in a notarial certificate of acknowledgment or a jurat. Notaries can not simply "sign and stamp" without appropriate notary wording already provided on the document. The stamp goes next to or near the notary's signature. It should NOT cover any text or signature on the document, including the notary's signature.
Go to a technical college and take any course you wish to take to earn the certificate. Or you can take online college courses if they are available to you.

A notary does not sign to acknowledge a document. A notary is a witness of the person who signed the document. He signs to say that the person who's signature appears on the document is, in fact, the person who signed it. (This is why a notary will ask to see your drivers license or other photo ID - to prove that you are who you say you are.) A notary would back date a document because the person signing the document already signed and dated it before it was handed to the notary. In this case, the notary would not have seen the person sign the document, so it is illegal for the notary to both sign and back date.
