Notaries public: notice.

Bill Subjects

Notaries Public: Notice.

Abstract

Existing law provides for the appointment and commission of notaries public by the Secretary of State. Existing law authorizes a notary public to execute a certificate of acknowledgment or proof of execution of an instrument, or a jurat attached to a sworn affidavit. Existing law requires a legible notice to be included in those documents in an enclosed box, as specified, stating that the acknowledgment, proof of execution, or jurat verifies only the identity of the individual who signed the document to which the acknowledgment, proof of execution, or jurat is attached, and not the truthfulness, accuracy, or validity of the document. This bill would exempt from that notice requirement a certificate of acknowledgment or proof of execution of an instrument, or a jurat attached to a sworn affidavit, if those documents attach to a power of attorney granted pursuant to the Organization of American States' Protocol on Uniformity of Powers of Attorney Which Are to be Utilized Abroad.
