Hello all,
First of all, I posted this on another forum and basically got a bunch of backlash, even suggestions that my posts contained UPL, just wondering serious thoughts from other notaries about this and if there's anything that actually disproves the information I have found.
In at least 42 States, Notaries are required to take an oath to the Constitution, including their State Constitution. This usually stems from the State constitution itself requiring a loyalty oath of office. In Colorado, this used to be required until at least the 1920s(possibly through the 70s and early 1980-81) as far as I can tell from research, but was most likely dropped during re-codification of the Notary Public Act in 1981... However notaries public are still considered civil officers(as determined in a Colorado Supreme Court opinion on a bill in 1886 that would have allowed women to become notaries, but because they were not "qualified voters", were therefore not allowed to possess a "civil office"), and as such would be required to take this oath. Now I'm in a catch-22 where I can't find one single de jure notary who has taken their oath already in Colorado, and the county recorder's office and court clerks all refuse to do this for me even though they are statutorily authorized officers.
I've wrote at length about this subject on my blog on the following posts:
