Sure, go for it. Just be sure to adjust the notarizal wording to state that his father's ID personally appeared in front of you. And make sure that the son does a halfway decent job of forging his father's signature on the document. Perhaps you could practice the signature as well, and whichever one of you does a better job can actually sign the document.

Re: I HAVE A QUESTION ????????ESPY....

Read the Notary Law of your state, since you are new, many of your questions will be answered in your state's Notary Law.

Re: CaliNotary, does your response make you a party to th Crime

**Are you both going share the same jail cell?**

One notary is not responsible for teaching another.

I swore an oath when I got my commission to do the right notary "stuff." Well...you have to read up on it before you know whether or not you'll swear to uphold it. Once upon a time that was enough to impress upon the notary that they needed to pay attention.

But now, most of the time it is lost on the notary that they are public servants with their "job manual" set forth in the laws of their state. Not my problem, not Cali's, not anyone's but theirs...if they get caught. (Oh yeah, and the public, too.)

If a notary is indifferent enough to get answers about their rules/laws from a forum...or indifferent enough to not know why I am saying this, they might as well go to Hobby Lobby and pick up a stamp art kit and go have a ball decorating documents.

Jenni, the post is bogus...

With all due respect, If ESPY, as a Notary does not know the answer to his question, should he even be a Notary Public?

Cali was being fecicious (sp?), it does not in any way make him a partner in crime.

I realize Cali was being, fecicious. It was all I could do to type after reading her/his comments. But sometimes people really amaze me with their questions. Some of the questions I get from new notaries that I know. I wonder how that certain thing could cconfuse them.

Sure - go ahead with it if you want to lose your commission.

The signer - the person whose signature you are notarizing must be in front of you! You have to positively identify the signer.

If you know the client or know someone who knows the client, you can use the subscribing witness as outlined in statute. Of course, this is a Ca law, so it may not apply to you.

Forgot to say that the above answer only applies to one type of certificate. You'll have to do the research to figure out which one.

You have to wonder if this is a joke? There are some dumb people in this world, but this takes the cake. This has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. I mean this is just basic common sense, that even a child would understand. All I can say if he/she does it, I hope they realize they are risking everything they own including their freedom.

no no no no

You are an impartial witness to the signature, and the signer must be present and his ID must be verified. Read your state manual and learn, ESPY. And continue asking questions, no matter the teasing you'll get over this one.
