Important Changes For All VA Notaries To Know

"Here are some important changes in Virginia law that will be effective July 1, 2008:
• You may notarize a document without the notarial certificate being on the same page as the signature(s) being notarized, however the notarial certificate must include the name(s) of each person whose signature is being notarized.
• You must now affix a sharp, legible, permanent, and photographically reproducible image of the official seal near the notary’s official signature on the notarial certificate on a paper document" There are now significant criminal consequences for both notaries and supervisors of notaries for criminal misconduct!!!!!
