Understanding Notary Wording

Notary wording refers to the specific language and phrases used in notarial acts to validate documents. This wording is crucial as it ensures that the notary's role in witnessing and authenticating signatures is clear and legally binding. In the United States, notary wording can vary by state, but it typically includes statements about the identity of the signer, the purpose of the document, and the notary's acknowledgment of the signature. Familiarizing yourself with this terminology is essential for anyone preparing documents that require notarization.

Common Elements of Notary Wording

When preparing documents that require notarization, certain elements should always be included in the notary wording:

Identification of the signer: Clearly state the name of the individual signing the document.
Statement of acknowledgment: Include a phrase indicating that the signer personally appeared before the notary and acknowledged signing the document voluntarily.
Date and location: Specify the date when the notarization took place and the location of the notary.
Notary signature and seal: The notary must sign and affix their official seal to validate the document.

Preparing Documents for Notarization

To ensure that your documents are ready for notarization, follow these steps:

Review state requirements: Each state has specific laws regarding notary wording and procedures. Check your state’s regulations to ensure compliance.
Draft the document: Create the document that requires notarization, ensuring that all necessary information is included.
Include notary wording: Insert the appropriate notary wording at the end of the document. This may involve using a template or consulting with a legal professional.
Schedule a meeting with a notary: Arrange for a notary to witness the signing of the document, ensuring that all parties are present.

Examples of Notary Wording

Here are examples of common notary wording used in various documents:

Acknowledgment: "State of [State], County of [County]. On this [date], before me, [Notary Name], a notary public, personally appeared [Signer’s Name], who proved to me on the basis of satisfactory evidence to be the person whose name is subscribed to the within instrument, and acknowledged that he/she executed the same."
Jurats: "Subscribed and sworn to before me this [date]. [Notary Name], Notary Public."

Importance of Accurate Notary Wording

Using accurate notary wording is vital for the legality of documents. Incorrect or incomplete wording can lead to challenges in court, potential fraud, or the rejection of the document by institutions. Ensuring that the notary wording is precise and adheres to state laws protects all parties involved and upholds the integrity of the notarization process.

Laura Hardin

What do you like best?

We were previously using an all-paper hiring and on-boarding method. We switched all those documents over to Sign Now, and our whole process is so much easier and smoother. We have 7 terminals in 3 states so being all-paper was cumbersome and, frankly, silly. We've removed so much of the burden from our terminal managers so they can do what they do: manage the business.
