I've never thought about this before (because we DO have to include names), but it seems to me that this could potentially be problematic in a split signing situation. For example, a husband and wife are signing the same set of docs separately. There should be, of course, two separate certificates, but it could be possible for someone to just add the name of the 2nd signer to the certificate of the first notary, even though that person didn't appear before her/him. |
