I want to know about Gold Medallion Notaries...Is that Gold Medal Flour related?

And, just last week I heard there's a type of copy from the Official County Records called "exemplary" copies...not just certified copies...oh it is much more.

So...anyone want to comment on

Notary Ambassador,
Gold Medallion Notary
or
Exemplary Copies?

"Gold" Medallion Notary

SIGNATURE GUARANTEES require a 'medallion notary' which many firms dub a "gold medallion notary" because the typically use a gold seal.

The following is a quote from the FL Governor's Office - Notary Education (May 1999) which provides a better answer than I can conjure up.

As a Notary Public, you may be asked at some point to provide a signature guarantee or to perform a "medallion notarization" for a transaction involving the transfer of stocks or securities. Notaries do not guarantee signatures. Instead, you perform the notarial act, an oath or an acknowledgment, required for the execution of a particular document. The party may actually be asking for a particular function that is restricted to the banking and securities industry. The STAMP Medallion Signature Guarantee Program, authorized by the Securities and Exchange Commission, is a highly specialized program by which a guarantor institution facilitates the prompt, accurate, and safe transfer of securities upon the request and instructions of the security holder. STAMP stands for Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program. A Medallion signature guarantee literally pledges the full faith and financial backing of the bank or stock brokerage making the guarantee. In the event that the signature is forged and an innocent party relies on that signature, the bank or stock brokerage can be held liable.

Had to get a Medallion Signature Guarantee

And it's green. And wasn't called a Gold anything. Just Medallion Signature Guarantee. At least in AR, it's green. This is not a Notary thing. As PAW stated, it has to do with banking & securities, stocks, annuities.

Notary Ambassador is a NNA creation

Check the NNA website. I'm sure they have information there regarding how to become an ambassador.
