NM Other Information of InterestTo become a New Mexico notary public you must have two residents sign a form attesting to the your good moral character. There is also a notarial certificate that can be used that is in Spanish which is generally prohibited in neighboring states due to the discrepancy and confusion between the Notary Public profession.
Notary Journal informationMaintaining a notary journal is optional. Journal entries should include the date of the notarization, type of document, name of signer, signature of signer. Its generally a good idea to get a thorough notary journal that has room for additional notes, notary fees, thumbprints, document date, type of notarization, etc. If you ever go to court, the information in your journal might be your only piece of evidence. The more information you keep in there about signings, the better prepared you are. A thumbprint is a very powerful piece of evidence in preventing identity fraud. You can often avoid a court case simply by mentioning that you have a thumbprint of the signer in your journal.
An notary whose commission has expired who still uses their seal to do notarizations can be fined $500 by the governor and would be guilty of a misdemeanor. A person who was damaged by an illegal act, negligence, or misconduct by a notary acting in their official capacity can bring civil action against the notary's surety bond.
