I've had people tell me the Postal employee refused the document with a loose certificate attached.
I tell people that many federal documents are known for not adhering to notarial law. And, attempts to address this have fallen on deaf ears for years.
When asked to notarize any federal form, I explain the issue to the requester and state that I will need to staple a loose certificate to the document. Further advising that I've had clients say the Postal employee refused to accept the document and ask if they want me to proceed with notarizing the document(s) in compliance with Colorado Notarial Law. Most say yes.
One customer said she was going to bypass the post office review and mail/submit the document directly to the US Department Of State. |
