I agree with the others. The only comment I might have is that you might be safer adding info at the bottom of the notary certificate rather than at the top. That way, it's more like an addendum and is consistent with the common practice of including an "optional info" section at the bottom of notary certificates. [Maybe you could decide to take their instruction literally, if ever presented with that again. They told you not to put it at the top, so just put it at the bottom? Wink]

If a signing service told me that, I'd be strongly tempted to tell them to pound sand - but I'd keep that thought to myself... Wink I like Colonel/IA's suggestion to ask them if they're willing to cover you for any legal consequences, although I hope I'd refrain from saying that, as well. Instead, I'd want to explain to them my belief in the importance of having the certificate attached to the document (which is legally required in my state - and I'm not convinced the CA SOS interpretation of stapling them together is sufficient).

Frankly, though, I think I'd want to know why it was a problem. Did the title co or lender complain about it? Do they have a better recommendation of how it could be uniquely connected to the notarized signature? If they didn't have a good answer, I'd probably try to explain the risks of not doing that and mention that if the cert was ever used fraudulently, it was my name and stamp on there.

'Course, there's also a good possibility that I'd just let it go (to make sure I get paid for what was already done) and decide to never again work for a company that would ask that of me.
