I would be careful about embossing copies of "official records". It would make them appear, at a glance, to be official copies from the official source.

However, you must emboss all pages of all documents at all times just in case you end up in court. Then, you can tell the judge that since 9-28-08 you have embossed all pages of all documents notarized by you. If a page is not embossed, it is most probably an illegitimately added page.

I usually only emboss documents leaving the U.S. or by request.
I put a gold seal on the signature page of the document and emboss that. |

Sometimes I emboss twice. If using a loose Ack: Once on the Ack, once halfway between the Ack and the document, such that half of the embossing is on each document. If no loose ack, just on the document.
By putting half of the embossing on each - there is less chance of fraud. One exception: I never touch in any way "official records": birth cert, death cert, marriage lic. etc. Those are best left alone. Of course the description of the doc goes on a loose ack.

So I happen to be up at the SOS today and asked the question.
Their reply was it was up to me or the customer how to use the embosser and it didn't matter if it went over printed verbage on the document. Of course I would not place it over any wording in my certificate or my seal or my stamp though.
Linda good advice to all reading this. Whenever you use a loose certificate always make a notation what document it is attached too.
I always do this. Its called CYA.....cover your A$$ests! |

| If you're attaching a loose cert to the signature page, then yes, I think you can - just make sure you note on your loose certificate the title and date of the document it's attached to (in case it becomes detached from the document, you want to prevent misuse of your certificate). |

Right! I meant the certificate page for the document I was signing. Now if I am attaching a loose certificate would you emboss the signature page of the document along with the certificate to tie them together? Also, can the embossed imprint go over wording?
My handbook does not cover this being that this procedure is not required in CA but I have a client who is requesting it because his document will be going out of County.
Linda, thanks for you help :) T |

By "all the documents" I assume you mean all the pages of the document you're notarizing since you'd issue one certificate per document signature page (you would not issue one certificate to cover multiple documents) ...check your handbook and your SOS for more decisive information BUT I would emboss the certificate together with only the page containing my notary certificate - no need to emboss all pages of the document.

| When using an embosser do you emboss all the documents attached to your certificate together or do you just emboss the certificate? |
