May I Notarize A Signature On An Undated Document?

By NNA Staff on August 28, 2019

New Hotline Resized 3May I Notarize A Signature On An Undated Document In California? —  J.B., California

Yes, you may notarize an undated document except when there is a blank space requiring a date that is not completed with a date. In California, Notaries may not notarize a document that contains blank spaces.

Hotline answers are based on the laws in the state where the question originated and may not reflect the laws of other states. If in doubt, always refer to your own state statutes. – The Editors

How would you handle a notary certificate where the notary entered the wrong county for the signing.
