I'm not saying that what she did was right, but according to WV Notary regulations illegibility is not a reason for invalidating the transaction. That's why what she does in WV is flying.
PART I. SEAL AND SIGNATURE.
§29C-4-101. Official signature.
At the time of notarization a notary public shall sign his official signature on every notarial certificate.
§29C-4-102. Rubber stamp seal.
Under or near his official signature on every notarial certificate, a notary public shall rubber stamp clearly and legibly, so that it is capable of photographic reproduction:
(a) The words "Official Seal";
(b) His name exactly as he writes his official signature;
(c) The words "Notary Public," "State of West Virginia" and "My Commission expires (commission expiration date)";
(d) The address of his business or residence in this state; and
(e) A serrated or milled edge border in a rectangular form not more than one inch in width by two and one-half inches in length surrounding the information.
No person holding a notary commission pursuant to former section two, article four, chapter twenty-nine on the effective date of this chapter may be required to obtain or use a rubber stamp seal prior to the expiration of that commission. However, such a notary who was appointed for one or more counties of the state may obtain and use the rubber stamp seal prior to the expiration of that commission if the name of the county in which the notarial act is performed is on the seal used for that act.
[Ed. Note: All commissions affected by this paragraph expired on or before June 30, 1994.]
§29C-4-103. Seal embosser.
(a) Every notary public may provide, keep and use a seal embosser engraved to show the words "Notary Seal," his name, "Notary Public," and "State of West Virginia."
(b) The indentations made by the seal embosser shall not be applied on the notarial certificate or document to be notarized in a manner that will render illegible or incapable of photographic reproduction any of the printed marks or writing.
§29C-4-104. Illegibility.
The illegibility of any of the information required by sections one hundred one through one hundred three, article four, does not affect the validity of a transaction. |
