If credible identifying witnesses are used to verify a signer’s identity, do I retain possession of the credible witness statement, or do I attach it to the document that has been notarized? — B.G., Florida
Florida law doesn’t prescribe what must be done with the credible witness statement. The NNA recommends that you keep the credible witness statement with your other notarial records.
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
