May I Type Or Write The Notarial Wording On A Document?

Hello. Yes. However, the signer must instruct you as to what type of notarial act is desired-you may not choose the notarial wording on the signer's behalf.

Hello. You could type the notarial wording on the document provided the signer instructs you what notarial act is needed and there is room so the wording could be typed without obscuring any of the document text. The signer should check with the receiving agency beforehand to confirm if this is acceptable or if the receiving agency would prefer an attached notarial certificate stapled to the document.

I don't know - I have heard of California county clerk offices rejecting documents that don't have the necessary wording in a box on the top of the form with the exact wording. Sometimes they even reject it because it isn't in a box. Best advice is to use an attached certificate. If it isn't accepted, there's something shady going on.

Hello. Because each Ohio county has its own commissioning and disciplinary guidelines, you may wish to contact your county's court of common pleas for their recommendation.
