Banks like *clean* docs, no strike outs or line throughs. I notarize a lot for B of A and asked which they prefer - a clean cert or for me to correct theirs. I was told to replace theirs with a clean cert.
I notarized for an attorney and the cert was almost correct. Same thing he preferred a clean cert instead of correcting his. It was a Sat. morning appt so no one there to correct and reprint his cert.
If I know or strongly believe a doc is going to a bank, other financial institution, overseas, to court, or be recorded I will automatically complete a clean cert rather than correct an incorrect cert.
