You are correct on every level. First notary did everything by notary code/law/regulations. You even checked to make sure it was acceptable by the bank. Then the banks legal department changed their rules. At least the bank manager tried to make it right and notarized the documents to satisfy their legal department. Glad you copied and gave the bank the current notary code print outs about Acknowledgement certificates. Hopefully in the near future they will have a meeting with all their new notaries and their legal department and understand California notary codes when it comes to Acknowledgements versa Jurats procedures. You did everything correctly and within your power!
I had a bank manager (out-of-state) reject my signature on a notarized document. I have a scribble for a signature and to him that was not acceptable because it was illegible. We had to re-notarize the document and I had to sign with a legible signature according to him. The signature doesn't match my drivers lic. or passport. Oh well, he/she who has the power makes the rules!
Sorry this happened to you but rest easy that you did everything correctly :-) |
