Attention ILLINOIS notaries. The statute requiring Notorial
Record with thumb prints on certain deeds of conveyance for Cook County real estate, which was scheduled to expire on 7-1-13 has been extended to 7-1-18.
The "enhanced " ID requirement has been permanently extended.
July 2013
ILLINOIS
BILL: House Bill 2269
EFFECTIVE: Immediately upon being signed into law by the Governor
SIGNED: June 19, 2013
AFFECTS: Amends 5 ILCS 312/3-102, 312/3-104 and 312/6-102
SUMMARY: HB 2269 extends until July 1, 2018, the statute requiring Notaries to complete a Notarial Record form for all documents of conveyance affecting title to residential real property in Cook County, Illinois. HB 2269 also extends the statute allowing Notaries to charge $25 for a notarization involving completion of a Notarial Record and makes permanent the provision in the law specifying the requirements for an ID card presented by a document signer to a Notary for identification. HB 2269 also repeals a provision effective after July 1, 2013, requiring Notaries to use black ink to sign and affix their seals to documents while the same provision in another statute expired on July 1, 2013. So at least temporarily, Notaries are not technically required to use black ink but SB 1219 could reverse this if enacted this fall. Until then the NNA advises members to continue to use black ink until the status of SB 1219 is decided.
