Portions of a document may be left blank when the notary signs the jurat, but if those blanks are filled in later on, they are not considered covered by the jurat. Therefore they will not be considered as having been made under oath.
No. The whole purpose of the notary is to ensure that the person signing the document is competent and knows what they are signing. That is why a notary can not notarize a document unless the signer is in the physical presence of the notary. If a notary affixes his or her stamp to a document, knowing that the person is incoherent and does not understand the document, the notary is guilty of a felony in most states.

An attestor is simply a witness, someone who 'attests' to the truth of some matter. For instance, a notary public attests to the identity of a person signing a legal document by signing and affixing their seal to the document. Therefore, the notary is an attestor to the identity of whomever signed the document. This negates the need of all parties affected by the document to be present during the signing. The notary is not attesting to the truth or accuracy of the document itself, but only that the person signing the document provided sufficient evidence of their identity to them.
If you notarize a document in SD, you are verifying the identity of the person signing the document in SD. Where the document gets filed afterward is not the notary's concern.
A notary class is a course oriented to train someone to become a notary. A notary is someone who verifies the identity of someone signing an important document.
No. The whole point of a notary is to verify the identity of the person signing a document right there in the presence of the notary. Anyone could have sent the mailed document, therefore it cannot be notarized.
Simple answer--NO!
A certificate of notary is an official document that confirms the authenticity of a signature or the validity of a document, as verified by a notary public. The notary public, a licensed official, witnesses the signing of documents and ensures that the signers are who they claim to be and are signing voluntarily. This certificate typically includes details such as the date, the notary's seal, and the notary's signature, providing legal assurance that the document is properly executed. It is commonly used in legal, financial, and real estate transactions.
However the notary chooses to express what you have just asked.
To ensure that the person who is signing their name to the document ACTUALLY IS that person.
The jurat is a statement at the end of a sworn document, such as an affidavit, in which the notary states the the person making or signing the document did so on a certain day, under oath and before the notary. It usually reads: "Sworn to and subscribed by me this 16th day of May, 2008." Under that statement the notary signs and places the appropriate seals on the document.
The job of the notary is to verify that the person signing a document is who they say they are. Some documents require that the notary see the actual signing and some merely require the notary to verify ID. The legal ramifications of an improper or invalid notarization are that the document can be challenged more easily in court, may be completely invalid without a proper notarization, the notary could be sued/fined/charged for improperly notarizing a document, the transaction may be declared void, and other bad things.
