Can a Notary refuse to Notarize your document?

Of course they can, but you better have a valid reason other than it being a personal reason (i.e. you don’t like that person religion, the way they look or dressed, the papers being notarized).

Some years ago I had to go to the police headquarters in Yaphank, NY to renew my gun permit to fill out the permit on the spot because I had not receive it in the mail. I was then told I needed to have it notarized. So, off I went looking for a notary in Yaphank, NY.

A mile down the road I came to a Public Works Office, I ask if anyone is a notary & I was told this certain lady was. When I found her, I presented her with my gun permit renewal papers & she said “I don’t think I can do that”. I’m not sure what she meant by that comment, but after becoming a notary I think she might of had some kind of prejudice towards guns & did not want to stamp it for personal reasons.. Little did I know I could have reported her to the Secretary of State of NY for refusing a valid notary for personal reasons.

In another situation, I’m going to meet a client at a bank lobby. But my client is impatient & goes into the bank to ask a bank employee to notarize his paper. He signs it in front of the notary & she refuses to stamp it because his signature does not match his picture ID. I looked at his picture & it matched his ID. Is that right? Can you refuse a notarization just because the signature does not match?

In another case, I once notarize a client who was at least 85 years old, her signature looked like the edge of a hack saw blade. It took her a good 2 minutes to make that signature. Should I have refuse to notarize her document?

I once had a notarization reject by NYC Vital Records because they said the signature did not match the applicants ID, It did not matter if a notary acknowledge the signature. So, don’t think just because you acknowledge a signature it won’t be reject because it does not match the affiant’s ID.

Do you know a sloppy Notary?

No I’m not talking about how they look or dress. I’m talking about quality or correctness of their work. I was just going to write about New York Notaries until I received a notarize paper that was stamped by a New Jersey Notary.
So I guess NY state is not alone.

I frequently have to hire other notaries to do work for me that is too far for me to travel or I receive work that a notary has stamped & sent to me for a client.

After observing the quality of work that I am presented with I’ve determined that many notaries need to read their notary manual or go back to school to learn how to do a proper notarization.

On many occasions the notary has only stamped & signed the affidavit. There is No Venue & Jurat, on one document their was no date. One notary stamp even had the incorrect county he was qualified in. I did not find this out until I went to the NYC County Clerk to certify his signature & they could not find his name in their records. A quick check of the Secretary of State database shows that he is qualified in Queens. NY notaries are qualified by where they live not by where they work.

Last week I was standing on line at my local county clerk’s office getting a notary’s signature certified and the county clerk turned away a young lady & told her, she could not accept sloppy notary work. I must have been one of those sign & stamp. Bravo!

Do you know what I’m writing about? They are among us.

Here is a list of thing the County Clerk will reject a Notary Certification for:

  • Missing Venue – the statement and county where the notary administered the oath or acknowledgment is not shown
  • Missing Jurat – the statement that the notary administered the oath or acknowledgment is not shown
  • The Notary Signature is missing
  • Signature of the notary on your document is different then the one on file
  • The Venue is not written in English
  • The Jurat is not written in English
