Aloha from Maui Hawaii! In Hawaii they started what is called a certification process. It is supposed to help prevent fraud. When I notarize documents I have to fill that information out, it has my seal, the name of whatever the document is, how many pages it is and the circuit of the court for the county you are in, in my case it is 2nd circuit. If that is not on the docs already printed, I have a stamp that I use that has that information. It is required on all notarized docs. I don't think you can fill that out though since the signing is not being done in Hawaii so you don't have circuit information. The thing I would be worried about though is the mortgage, the recorded document. The county might kick it back if it is not there. The other documents shouldn't matter since it is the lender only that looks at those, and perhaps title. To be safe though, if you have time, I would call the Hawaii State attorney general's office on Monday at (808) 586-1500. They are open from 7:30am to 4:30pm Hawaii time. We are 3 hours behind California in time. They are in charge of notary regulations in Hawaii and could advice you as well. Feel free to private message me with any further questions on this closing as well. I have been in the business for over 18 years and live in Hawaii so I could probably help if you need it. Good luck. What island are you moving to by the way? Life in Hawaii is great, but be prepared for life to get expensive. It is very very expensive here. :-) ALOHA!
