Here is some interesting information relating to Ken's post regarding notarizing OUT OF STATE. Its legal in Virginia under certain circumstances. This information will be added to our Virginia page shortly.
A Virginia notary public can notarize outside of the commonwealth of Virginia providing that the document being notarized gets recorded in Virginia. This is a very unusual law considering that other states require the notary to only notarize within the state that they are commissioned in. Below is the official state verbiage on this matter:
All Virginia notaries are notaries at-large and have authority to perform all notarial acts anywhere within the Commonwealth of Virginia. Virginia notaries have limited powers in performing notarial acts outside of the Commonwealth of Virginia. However, documents notarized outside of the Commonwealth by Virginia notary publics must be must be recorded in Virginia. |

The same illegal request was made of me twice this past week - and never previously in the past 5 years. How odd!
Case One:
The woman wanting to adopt needs her accountants "income statement" notarized. Pretty routine. But - The accountant (who lives in New Jersey and works in New York) will be staying home for a week. The client needs (a mandate from the adoption agency, she says) to have the accountant's statement notarized in New York. But the Jersey living accountant does not want to travel to NY. She wants a NY notary to go to his home in NJ and use a NY notarization stamp. I try to explain that it is FORGERY - to fill in a false venue - the next day I receive (one of several cc adresses) the same request addressed to several notaries trying to find a fool to do what she wants!
Case Two:
A real heartbreaker. The couple call from Newark Airport (in New Jersey) wanting me to dash over to notarize the husband's permission form for the wife to leave the country with the minor child. There is not enough time for him to come to me in New York. They BEG me to go to the airport and notarize the document as they were not able to find anyone else at 3AM on a Wednesday. But, as I explain - I can't notarize anything in New Jersey as my license is only for New York State. They plead it's an emergency, an "exception", a crisis, etc.
They probably missed the plane, lost big money, etc. - but, there was nothing that I could do......
So, fellow notaries; keep your eyes open and stay aware of where your boundaries are - if not licensed in a state - don't notarize there. Not for ANY reason - forgery is not a trivial matter.
