Incomplete Notary Certificate or Absent Notary Certificate

Frequently notaries are confronted with document with no notary certificate or incomplete notary certificate. Like most Va notaries, I carry a stamp with all the element of both jurat and acknowledgment notarization and a stamp for exact copies. However, in the future if confronted with multiple notarizations that have incomplete notary certificates, I will decline the notary job. Some people do not appreciate what a correct notarization certificate looks like. If two or more people are signing a document, the notary certificate should could contain all the names.The alternative is to have each person have each individual notary certificate and this does increase the cost of notarization. In the absence of hardship cases, I think clients can afford this best option. Walk away if the client thinks he /she can boss you around. One notary told me of client who became very belligerent when the notary correctly refused to notarize a birth certificate!!!!!!Get all major jobs in writing or collect from each individual signer
