Can I Notarize A Post-Dated Document?

Is this law also good in California you can sign a document that is date in the future? How far in advsnce? Also if it has been past.

I am confused this advice seems to contradict an item in Step 2 of your article 5 Steps To A Proper Notarization where you say "To check the document date, which should never come after the date of the notarization." Can you clarify?

This response seems to contradict Step 2 of the article “5 Steps to a Proper Notarization” by Michael Lewis. Step 2 states that you should always scan over the document for a number of important reasons, including to check the document date, which should never come after the date of the notarization. A document dated in the future is one that comes after the date of notarization. How does the advice in this article reconcile with the response provided by the NNA?

I disagree with this response. The document should never be dated for a time after the date of the notarization as you are notarizing a signature in real time. If the document is to go into effect after the date of notarization, then that is a fact that should be recited in the document, but the date of the document should still be the date of the notarization or prior.

What if the signer of the document or nobody else puts a date on the document at the time of the signing that date or future date, leaving the date blank, is it still a legal document.
