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."

What is a notary signature?
A notary public (or notary or public notary) is a public officer constituted by law to serve the public in non-contentious matters usually concerned with estates, deeds, powers-of-attorney, and foreign and international business. A notary's main functions are to administer oaths and affirmations, take affidavits and statutory declarations, witness and authenticate the execution of certain classes of documents, take acknowledgments of deeds and other conveyances, protest notes and bills of exchange, provide notice of foreign drafts, prepare marine protests in cases of damage, provide exemplifications and notarial copies, and perform certain other official acts depending on the jurisdiction. Any such act is known as a notarization. The term notary public only refers to common-law notaries and should not be confused with civil-law notaries.With the exceptions of Louisiana, Puerto Rico, Quebec, whose private law is based on civil law, and British Columbia, whose notarial tradition stems from scrivener notary practice, a notary public in the rest of the United States and most of Canada has powers that are far more limited than those of civil-law or other common-law notaries, both of whom are qualified lawyers admitted to the bar: such notaries may be referred to as notaries-at-law or lawyer notaries.
