LynnNC's original post suggests the title company will find a notary who will do whatever the title company tells the notary to do.
I don't know what notarial acts are allowed in NC. It appears that LA notaries can do this, and NY notaries are allowed to perform notarizations "for use in another jurisdiction, to exercise such other powers and duties as by the laws of nations and according to commercial usage, or by the laws of any other government or country may be exercised and performed by notaries public, provided that when exercising such powers he shall set forth the name of such other jurisdiction." But in most states, notaries can only perform a limited list of acts, and certifying that a note goes with a mortgage isn't among them.
If the nature of the notarial act desired by the signer isn't obvious from the certificate on the document, the notary has to ask what act is desired (unless the notary is a lawyer, or has more authority than usual, as in LA and in PR). The notary can't just substitute an authorized act for an authorized act without asking.
