Can I Use Erasable Ink In My Journal?

California notary law says nothing about the type of ink to be used in a notary's journal

erasable ink isn't all that erasable anyway. Just use it like a regular pen.

Logic would dictate. Why use an ink pen and not a dark pencil? So people do not erase what was originally written. Do not use an erasable pen, it would be like using a pencil. If you need to make a correction, put a SINGLE line through the error and initial& date it.

I think logic should dictate and use a Non-erasable Pen. Why was a Pen required vs. a Pencil in the first place? I believe that it is so that nobody can easily tamper with what was originally written. An erasable pen is just like using a pencil in this respect. If I make an error, I put a single-line through my error and initial it, so that it can be evident that there was an error. We can go on about why a single-line vs. not using whiteout or scribbling out errors. We do not want our entries to get tampered or appear tampered._

Colorado law is silent on the type of ink pen to use in the notary journal. But CRS 12-55-211 Seals says a notary stamp should use indelible ink. To prevent tampering, I use a Uni-Ball Signo 207 blue ink pen with special anti-fraud ink. I wrote a product review on my blog at http://abclegaldocs.com/blog-Colorado-Notary/uni-ball-signo-207-anti-fraud-archival-gel-pen/
