Virginia's notary handbook says this about verification of fact:
"The Commonwealth of Virginia is the first state in the country to authorize the verification of fact as a notarial power. This involves a notary directly accessing public or vital records to confirm or validate a signer’s identity credentials or to confirm facts about an individual’s identity or authorization. A notary may also access public records to confirm facts about such matters as corporate status, date of birth, or date of marriage."
The mortgage or deed of trust isn't a public record at the time the paraph needs to be done, although it will be later. The note isn't a public record at all. So it doesn't seem the paraph would qualify as a verification of fact. |
