My state does not require a notary journal, but I have a form that I write the DL info and ask them to sign it "in case I ever need to prove we were in the same place at the same time."
As to the question about when to notarize, I will fill in everything I need to before the signing, and then stamp it in the customers presence. I would be very reluctant to not do this - what happens if you stamp it later and goof it up. or miss one and send in the package? Much better to have this done with the customer present (and, I think from a legal standpoint, you are supposed to stamp the document in the presence of the signer). |
