No. Absolutely not. It is a requirement to have a VALID NOTARY SEAL to legitimize the document.
What if a licensed notary emails an unlicensed notary soliciting work in order to trap this notary?
I am unsure what an "unlicensed" notary is. If a notary's commission has expired, that person is no longer a notary and cannot legally notarize documents. If a notary with an expired-commission notarizes a document, the expired-commission notary can face fines or jail-time. The legal status of the improperly notarized document varies from state to state. Asking an expired notary to work, via email or otherwise, is not a crime and does not necessarily constitute an attempt at fraud. If an uncommissioned notary is soliciting work, that person is committing fraud.

A notary is notarizing ONLY the legality of the signatures on the title, nothing else. As long as the Notary's commission is current and valid, they may notarize any any legal document.
Can a notary notarized a document the same day that his commission expire?
If the Notary's appointment was valid at the the time they witnessed the signature, it remains valid even after the Notary's commission expires.HOWEVER, if the Notary's commission was expired at the time they "witnessed" it, it is not a valid notarization.Another PerspectiveAn expired notary may affect the legality of the document. A legal document with an expired notary can be challenged. In some cases, the expired date is a typographical error and an affidavit can be executed by the notary stating the correct expiration date and that their license was in effect at the time of the signing. If possible, you should contact the notary to notarize the document again with a valid expiration date or, if that's not possible, have the document executed again with a valid notary seal.If the document cannot be corrected and its validity is challenged then it is up to a court to determine whether the expired notary seal will invalidate the document. State laws vary. In some states statutory provisions will "cure" a recorded instrument with an expired notary after a certain time period has passed.

If the document is signed in any other state, or outside of the presence of the notary, the notary cannot notarize the signature.
