and no, I was not thinking about a hypothetical case.
The IL Notary Handbook is clearly meant for IL notaries public and NOT for notaries in other states. It doesn't need to "contain an explicit statement that it doesn't apply to notaries from other states" because its pretty obvious that the ILLINOIS NOTARY HANDBOOK is meant as a basic guide for ILLINOIS NOTARIES PUBLIC. Also, if you read our handbook, you may have noticed that the URAA notary statute is also included in the IL Notary Handbook.
With regard to electronic recordings and e-notarizations acceptance in this state, this information can be found under Title 14: Commerce, Chapter IV: IL Electronic Recording Commission, Part 1400, Section 1400.30 Electronic Recording. Subparagraph (j) is questionable because of its ambiguous statement regarding e-notarizations. What does this mean, "e-notarization stamps embedded w/in the document"?
And it also is a contradiction to the above statement, because this subparagraph also means, e-notarization must follow not only federal, but our own state laws. More confused yet ya'll.
Anyway, I hope to have an answer sometime next week.
So whose on first?  |
