The notary does not keep a copy of documents they notarize. The owner of the document or the parties involved in the transaction may make a copy. If the document is recorded in the land records, anyone can obtain a copy.

But don't worry, there are plenty of other notaries who can help your family member with their document needs.

In the state of Georgia does the notarized document expire when the notary stamp expires?

The notary stamp has no affect on the validity of the document. A notary is typically appointed for a period of a few years. No one has to go and get all their documents 're-notarized' to keep them valid.


What does a notarized signature look like?

Notarized Signatures are merely a signature that has been signed in front of a Notary Public. The Notary then signs beneath and stamps the document with a Notary Seal, which informs everyone the signature has been 'validated' as being the actual signature of the individual(s) who are signing the document. They appear something like this: Before me, a notary public in and for the said County and State, personally appeared the above named (Signer's Name) who acknowledged that he/she did sign the foregoing instrument and that the same is his/her free and voluntary act and deed. IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and official seal this _____ day of ________, 200____. ___________________________________ Notary Public My commission expires _______________________ {NOTARY SEAL} If you need your signature notarized keep in mind that most Notary Public usually charge a small fee for notarizing documents. Most banking institutions will also have a Notary that can notarize signatures on documents. Some banks will offer this service to it's customers for free. You shouldn't have to spend more than a few bucks to get something notarized.


If a notary stamps a document for a corporation and they are a part of that corporation is that fraud?

Probably not. The notary in most American states is licensed by the secretary of state to perform notarial duties according to local statutes and regulations and it makes no difference who the "client" is. The notary must carry out the procedures as required by law. On the other hand, if the notary is "ordered" to violate the regulations and does so to keep his or her job, then it may not be fraud, but it is certainly a crime that needs to be dealt with appropriately. A notary is just assuring the person signing the document is the one signing the document. It does not assure anything about the content of the document...it can be "I swear I am not John Smith"...signed by John Smith and notarized by a notary assuring that it is indeed John Smith signing. So what could be the fraud the notary would commit?

How do you handle when a document needs to be duly notarized attested and legalized by the embassy?

When a document requires notarization, attestation, and legalization by the embassy, I first ensure that the document is properly notarized by a licensed notary public. Next, I obtain the necessary attestation from the relevant authority, such as a state or county office, to confirm the notary's credentials. Finally, I take the document to the embassy or consulate for legalization, ensuring I have all required forms and identification to facilitate the process. Throughout, I keep track of any specific requirements set by the embassy to ensure compliance.
