The secretary of state is responsible for the commission of public notaries OKC, and they are required to possess a unique stamp or seal. This seal or stamp carried by them is used to verify the authenticity of their signature. This signature must match the records of the Oklahoma Secretary of State.

So, if anyone ever speculates about their authenticity signs, they can be compared and verified with the signature from the official file.

What is public notary in Oklahoma City?

He/ She is responsible for verifying the identities of people who place their signatures on a variety of documents such as home loans, wills, contracts, car titles, transfers, juries, etc. They can also verify regular documents such as personal letter from one individual to another. Furthermore, it is essential for them to get oral or written assertions from the signer about the authenticity and accuracy of the contents of the document.

Occasionally, they will receive calls to verify if the copy of a marriage license or driving license is an authentic copy of the original one.

This service provided by them is helpful for people who still need their passports on hand so they can show other identification.

Their main responsibility is to verify the identities of individuals. They can verify the identity of individuals in one of several ways. Usually, they will ensure a person’s identity by asking for necessary identification, such as a passport or a driving license. In Oklahoma, it is essential for individuals to possess some identification with a unique picture and a signature. This will help the mobile notary to verify their identity and for the public notary to match their signatures on the document to the signature on their identification, such as a driver’s license.

It is possible that the professional is already familiar with the client. Perhaps that person is a regular customer, a friend an acquaintance, etc. In such a scenario, he/she does not need to ask for verification on every encounter with the individual. Unless there exists an identical twin of the person, asking for verification from the same people over and over again would be a tedious and unnecessary process.

It is possible that a specialist has reasonable doubts about the legitimacy of the identification such as driver’s license or passport provided by an individual. Even though many types of identification have developed advanced security measures that make them hard to replicate, it is still not impossible. Individuals with the necessary knowledge can easily forge identification that seems authentic, which means there is a need to be careful.

In case the public notary or mobile notary has any doubts regarding the identification provided, they can request another form of identification to nullify the doubt. If the person refuses or fails to present another form of suitable identification to them, they can decline the verification of the documents. He does not have a legal obligation to notarize every document and can refuse to notarize if he suspects the documents or the identity of the signer to be unauthentic.

There is a certain set of rules that they must follow while performing their duties in Oklahoma City. They are not allowed to notarize documents belonging to his/her relatives or family members. They are also not allowed to notarize documents that transfer money to them or allow them to become someone’s attorney, etc.

Attesting the documents of relatives or documents that are beneficial to the personal interest of a public notary is not an illegal or unethical act by law. However, such acts could make the public notary and their attested documents a target of suspicion and speculation. Someone could question or doubt their intentions, especially if they attested to a will. It is necessary to note that he/she is an objective party with no personal interest in the notarized documents; their only job is to attest and verify the identities of the signing parties.

It is illegal for them to falsify the dates on which the documents were signed. They are not allowed to date a notarized document before or after the actual date on which it was signed. The individuals signing the documents are also not allowed to put dates that may be before after the actual date of signing. The written date on which the documents were signed should always be the actual date.

It is important for them to ensure that individuals refrain from signing or filling out the documents before presenting them to the professional to get notarized. The documents should be filled and signed at the time of the notarization and should not be left blank either.

As mentioned earlier, an affirmation of the accuracy of the documents needs to be provided by the signing parties to get the documents notarized by an official. As a result, they are prohibited from notarizing documents that need to be completed or fulfilled by the client. This could allow other individuals to fill these blank and unfilled fields with inaccurate or false information without affirmation in front of a public notary OKC.

Another rule they must abide by is that they cannot notarize a document on behalf of another notary. Notarizing documents for other people without their signature is a forbidden act punishable by law. Any professional who commits this act can be fined and even incarcerated. Similarly, anyone who illegally uses their stamp or seal or falsifies their signature in their signature field is bound to end up in trouble with the law.

Notaries of Oklahoma must educate themselves about the state’s laws. Their job is often sensitive and needs to be carried out according to rules and regulations made by the state. Oklahoma has well-defined laws that provide guidance to public notaries about their duties. Some organizations even provide specialized courses for mobile notary public OKC and equip people with the necessary knowledge and nationally recognized certificates. Such educational initiatives can attest to one’s qualification and expertise and put important clients such as loan companies and banks at ease.

A common question a Private detective encounters is the difference between a notary public and a mobile notary. Both are responsible for notarizing documents, but there is a slight difference that escapes most people’s notice. As the name suggests, a mobile notary refers to an individual who verifies and attests documents by traveling to the employees. Whereas a notary public might choose to work in an office, go to the client or may even do both.

According to the law in Oklahoma, the standard charges for one notarized signing cannot be more than $5.00 per signature. If an individual visits them themselves to get documents signed, then the charges may be at most $5.00 per signing. On the other hand, if a mobile notary goes to the client, such as a bank, etc., he can charge their desired price.

Although, the client will still accept the price requested by them. Sometimes, the two have to negotiate and come to a consensus about the price. He is a professional who has a right to be paid fairly for his or her services. It should be noted that he often has to bear the charges emerging from different necessities such as the cost of fuel for transport, car maintenance, the public commission fees, official stamps, ink, books, and liability insurance, as well as their time. All these are valuable factors that contribute to the overall cost of the notarization.
