The SoS has a Sample workbook/education manual for education vendors. The current one is from this year, and it is approved for education purposes. I was reading through it to see what it says vs what's in the handbook.
See: http://www.sos.ca.gov/business/notary/forms/notary-education-sample-workbook.pdf
The discussion about the use of CWs the other day is interesting, because, on page 24, they give the following example:
"Nat Notary is called to notarize Irene’s signature on a company document.
Nat Notary and Irene have never met before. Irene is away from home and
left her identification, her Illinois driver’s license, in Chicago. Irene asks
Rene to vouch for Irene because Irene and Rene have known each other for
years. Nat Notary has also worked with Rene before. Rene can appear as a
credible witness for Irene so that Nat Notary can complete the notarization."
So, in this case... Irene does have ID, she just forgot it. And yet, according to the approved education materials, this is OKAY.
It seems to tell us something very different from what many of us may actually practice. How many would tell Irene to have her ID FedExed to her, since she, indeed does posses ID?
It would seem that the SoS has a more lenient idea of what "very difficult or impossible" means. |
