you're not going to believe this

I recieved an email from TC through the SS.

Your notary lined through the certificate and wrote the words " not appropriate wording for the state of Calif." What's up with that?

The SS says I did it wrong. I wrote back and stated California law and that I was correct.

What's up with these TC?, they all want it done their way without reguard to notary law.

The SS said that all I should have wrote was "see attached", and no line through the incorrect verbage.

I draw a line through incorrect wording, write on line "see attached" and initial. Never had a problem.

I use a stamp that says essentially the same thing. I initial next to the stamp. Never had a problem.

I draw a line diagonally through the incorrect

certificate and write on the line "See attached FL compliant cert"...never had one kicked back.

I like the stamp idea..

I have always drawn a single diagonal line through the noncompliant verbiage and initialed. I used to write "See attached CA acknowledgment (or jurat)" and the date; but I have since had a stamp made (per Marian) that says: "CA compliant certificate attached" and have used that for the past several months...

Never have heard a peep of complaint from anybody ever .....

Maybe the TC was mad because they felt you went overboard with "not appropriate wording for the state of Calif." Also, maybe shoulda said "not compliant" sted of "not appropriate"... but in any case, I think it's important to line through the noncompliant verbiage no matter what the silly SS sez. We've all heard horror stories about how TCs and lenders willy-nilly add/change stuff later to our acks/jurats.

I had this happen to me as well.
I called the NNA & called the ASN for direction on this & was told, that as a Notary I cannot make changes to the verbage. By doing so it would mean that I was practicing law.
They said all I could do at this point is to attach a seperate acknowledgement to the document.

We've discussed this before and the best thing that came from that very long discussion was:

Draw a line through the incorrect verbage, write not compiant for Ca. , Initial, and write see attachment.

Totally disagree with the advice you received. It is the

*Notary's* pervue, the Certificate. The Notary who abides by her state law.

In Oregon, for example, I cannot swear an oath to the beautiful State of California in performing my Oregon Duty. Even if I am doing what that state's law essentially requires, I do not operate under CA law.

What I choose to line out language that does not apply in my area of jurisdiction is not practicing law, rather, it is obeyance of Oregon law, originally derived from the Constitution which, demands reciprocity within all of our United States.

I've never had a Notarization kicked back for any reason, because I follow my state's laws.

That's why you need to go to your

Secretary of State for clarification, NOT a quasi non-profit organization that doesn't know what they are talking about.

They were upset because I lined through it. They didn't want any changes to any of their documents.
