A:  At least one current document issued by a federal, state, or federal or state-recognized tribal government agency bearing the photographic image of the individual's face and either the signature or a physical description of the individual.

 

Q:  Are there any types of documents you are not allowed to notarize?

A:  I cannot provide legal advice, so I am unable to notarize documents that I believe are illegal, fraudulent, or improper.  I cannot notarize documents in which I have a personal interest.  I also will not notarize a document if valid ID is not provided.

 

Q:  Can you refuse to notarize my document?

A:  Absolutely!

 

Q:  Do you keep a record the notarial acts you perform?

A:  Yes.  I maintain a record of all notarial acts as required by North Carolina law in my notary journal.

Q:  Can you provide certified copies of documents?

A:   No.  Notaries in North Carolina are not authorized to provide certified copies of documents.  You would need to contact the appropriate issuing authority for certified copies.

 

Q:  How do you ensure the authenticity of the documents you notarize?

A:   I verify the identity of the signer using acceptable forms of identification, witness the signing of the document, and attach an official notarial seal and signature to the document.

 

Q:  Can you explain the role of a notary public and its significance in legal documents?

A:  Certainly. A notary public is an official appointed by the state government to serve as an impartial witness when important documents are signed.

Q:  Are there any specific requirements for a document to be eligible for notarization?

A:  Yes.  The document must be complete and ready for signatures. I cannot provide legal advice, so it is important that the parties understand the contents of the document before presenting it for notarization.

 

Q:  How do you ensure that the notarization process remains impartial and unbiased?

A:  It's crucial for me to remain impartial and unbiased during the notarization process. I have no personal interest in the documents being signed, and I am here solely to verify the identity of the parties and witness their signatures.
