Ack wording... what if "notary public" title...

is already in the document wording. For instance, on the notorial section of the DOT it said
"On _____ before me _________ a Notary Public in and said State and County..."

Do I still nedd to put my name and then a comma and then Notary Public?

Obviously, you don't need to put Jane Doe, Notary Public. Just put Jane Doe.

If you are a California notary Public, the language of an Acknowledgement is now fixed, fixed, fixed!

You MUST conform EXACTLY to the wording specified in the law, no modification, no exceptions. The words "a Notary Public in and for", etc. are not statutory. You must attach a California All-Purpose Acknowledgement.

It will be a long time, if ever, before some lenders and title companies make changes in their documents to conform with California law. It's now been a year since the Jurat language changed, yet I still see the old language on documents. That's wrong on the part of the document creators, but it's still the Notary's responsibility to do it correctly in accordance with the law.

What notary would not know the answer to the original question? That's why no one is taking this too seriously.

That wasn't the question...

I believe the original question wasn't whether or not "notary Public" needs to be after their name but rather what if it is already stated in the original script. Do they need to rewite the words Notay Public. Read the question as it was posted and not as as an avenue to get on and ride your self absorbed, self serving, selp proclaiming horse.

It's obvious that those that answered figured that out. That's what made it appear to be a "funny." I was able to figure that out with a hangover!

Re: That wasn't the question...Anon

That question was just stupid. Plain stupid. So... the certificate will read "Jane Doe, notary public, notary public"? C'mon, don't waste our time. The answer is obvious.

You must be in exact compliance with 2006 Ack. Verbiage in Calif so if you slashed the "a" before the printed "notary public" you would be in compliance and could use the printed verbiage.

Nowhere does the new 2006 verbiage have the "a" allowed.
