Notarize Legal New York Pets Forms For Free

The use of a Notary seal is not required in the state of New York, but a Notary must print, typewrite, or stamp certain information on every notarial certificate. The stamps and embossers listed below fulfill those requirements.

In other words, all that you need to officiate your notarization is to display the words ?Notary Public, State of New York,? the county of original qualification, the commission expiration date, your name, and license number in black ink below your signature.

A single document can be notarized for $25 using Notarize. Each additional notary seal will cost $10 but most documents only require one.

Driver's license ? The most common form of ID, as long as it's current and issued by a government agency. Passport ? Either a current passport or one that expired within the last 5 years is acceptable. Military ID ? An official ID card for active duty, retired, or dependent military personnel.

As always, if you are concerned about the notarization you can refuse to complete it. The handwritten document would be approached like any other document. The same procedures need to be followed, such as physical presence, no blanks, the name on the ID and the name on the document must match.

As of January 25, 2023, all notaries must keep a ?journal? or record of their notarial acts. Importantly, the notarial journal must be retained for a minimum of ten (10) years and must be capable of being produced to the secretary of state, or others, when needed.
