"Seems to me that might be alright". Although our handbook has flakey wording in it, that phrase is not mention anywhere in it. However you might want to review these two pages to answer your question.
First of all, page 16 in the notary handbook 2011......
Certified Copies
A notary public may only certify copies of powers of attorney under Probate Code section
4307 and his or her notary public journal. (Government Code sections 8205(a)(4), 8205(b)(1),
and 8206(e))
Certified copies of birth, fetal death, death, and marriage records may be made only by the
State Registrar, by duly appointed and acting local registrars during their term of office, and
by county recorders. (Health & Safety Code section 103545)
Second......page twelve states...
Jurat
The second form most frequently completed by a notary public is the jurat. (Government Code
section 8202) The jurat is identified by the wording “Subscribed and sworn to (or affirmed)”
contained in the form. In the jurat, the notary public certifies:
• That the signer personally appeared before the notary public on the date indicated and in
the county indicated;
• That the signer signed the document in the presence of the notary public;
• That the notary public administered the oath or affirmation*; and
• To the identity of the signer.
To me the second bullet is the key, SIGNED WHAT DOC? |
