Jenn, You will get a better reply to your question if you add your state abbreviation to your name as in: Jenn_CA or Jenn_ Fl, etc. Each state has specific requirements for notary public actions.

For deeds where witnesses are required, or on mortgages when witnesses are "requested", the notary can be one.

Since you're new, I'll repost the current requirements as I know them to be:

2005 State Witness Requirements
-------------------------------
CT - 2 witnesses, one can be the notary
FL - 2 witnesses, one can be the notary - DEEDS OF CONVEYANCE ONLY, not mortgages
GA - 2 witnesses, one MUST be the notary
LA - 2 witnesses, CANNOT be the notary
SC - 2 witnesses, one can be the notary

NOTES:
1) FL - Mortgages DO NOT require witnesses, DEEDS (QuitClaim, Warranty, etc.) do.
2) VT - Effective 7/1/04, Act 150, Sec. 1.27 V.S.A. §2 was amended to remove witness requirements.
3) Lenders may require witnesses, even though there is no state requirement.
