A real estate notary (Certified Signing Agent) walks you through your loan documents and witnesses you signing the paperwork. And several pages of the loan documents will require a notary acknowledgment. For that reason, a real estate notary must also be commissioned as a notary public.

Types of Notarizations

Certificate of Certified Copy:

I WILL NOT CERTIFY ANY COPIES OF DOCUMENTS WHICH STATE ON THE FACE OF THE DOCUMENT THEY CANNOT BE REPRODUCED. Birth certificates, death certificates, marriage licenses, divorce decrees and school documents (diplomas, transcripts) cannot be certified. Certified copies of these documents should be obtained from the issuing agency. The notary is required by law to keep a copy of any document they certify.

Acknowledgements:

An acknowledgment is typically performed on documents controlling or conveying ownership of valuable assets. Such documents include real property deeds, powers of attorney and trusts. For an acknowledgment, the signer must appear in person at the time of notarization to be positively identified and to declare ("acknowledge") that the signature on the document is his or her own, that it was willingly made and that the provisions in the document are intended to take effect exactly as written.

Jurat:

For a Jurat, the signer must appear in person at the time of notarization to sign the document and to speak aloud an oath or affirmation promising that the statements in the document are true. (An oath is a solemn pledge to a Supreme Being; an affirmation is an equally solemn pledge on one's personal honor.) A person who takes an oath or affirmation in connection with an official proceeding may be prosecuted for perjury should he or she fail to be truthful.


Fee Notice:

A notary public is allowed to charge fees for notarizing documents. Section 486.685, RSMo, allows a notary to charge five dollars for each signature on a document and the proper recording of the notarization in their journal. The maximum fee for any other notarial act is five-dollars. A notary may charge one-dollar per page certified with a minimum total charge of three dollars per page they certify as a certified copy of an original document. The certified copy must also be recorded in the notary journal. The notary must also retain a copy of each page in their notary file. A notary public may charge a travel fee to perform a notarial act If: (1) The notary and the person performing the notarial act agree upon the travel fee In advance of the travel; and (2) The notary explains to the person requesting the notarial act that the travel fee Is both separate from the notarial fee prescribed and neither specified nor mandated by law.


Disclaimer : 486.675. Non-attorney notaries, prohibited acts.—A notary who is not an attorney shall not assist another person in drafting, completing, selecting, or understanding a document or transaction requiring a notarial act. A notary does not have the authority to prepare legal documents. All documents presented to a notary for notarization should have the correct form of notary certificate on them. A notary’s duty is to perform the notarial act and complete the notarial certificate.


What is a Notary: 

Notaries are public officials appointed by the governments of the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and the five U.S. territories to serve their citizens as trusted, impartial witnesses to document signings.

A Notary's geographic authority to perform notarizations is strictly limited to the boundaries of the appointing state or jurisdiction and to the term of the commission, which may vary from two to 10 years. They must also uphold the law of the appointing state or jurisdiction. When performing official notarial acts, Notaries are serving the public service on behalf of their state. They cannot violate the law at anyone's request — and that includes employers, clients, friends or family members.

Notaries must also be impartial, which means they must never refuse to serve or discriminate in their quality of service, based on an individual's race, nationality, religion, politics, sexual orientation or status as a non-customer. As representatives of the state, Notaries must perform their official duties with respect and seriousness for the public service role they play as a trusted, impartial witness.
