I don't know what the law is in CO but in some states court recorders are regulated by the state (sometimes the executive branch, sometimes the judicial branch). In these states, I see no need for a notarization because the court reporter is a government-recognized official or professional with the same sort of credibility as a notary.
It's not unlike many land records offices only accepting deeds, mortgages, and the like if they were acknowledged before a notary. But survey plats, which can have similar impacts on property ownership, don't have to be notarized because they have the seal of a surveyor, who is a state-licensed professional. |
