Read the first 7 Notarial Acts and Procedures flashcards as text

  1. What information must appear in the 'venue' portion at the top of an Alaska notarial certificate?

    Answer: The state and judicial district where the notarial act was performed

    The venue identifies the state and judicial district (Alaska has no counties) where the notarial act physically took place.

  2. When performing an acknowledgment in Alaska, what must the notary confirm from the signer?

    Answer: That the signer executed the document voluntarily and for the stated purpose

    An acknowledgment requires the signer to confirm they executed the document as their free and voluntary act for the purposes stated.

  3. An Alaska notary receives a document with a blank notarial certificate. What is the correct course of action?

    Answer: Refuse to notarize until the appropriate certificate wording is added

    A notary should not notarize a document with a blank certificate because the type of notarial act cannot be determined; the appropriate wording must be added first.

  4. Under the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (RULONA) adopted by Alaska, which of the following is a valid form of satisfactory evidence of identity?

    Answer: A current government-issued ID with photo and signature

    RULONA requires a current government-issued document such as a passport or driver's license bearing the signer's photo and signature.

  5. A signer appears before an Alaska notary but claims not to have a government-issued ID. Under RULONA, which alternative is permissible?

    Answer: Use the oath of a credible witness personally known to the notary

    RULONA allows a credible witness who is personally known to the notary to vouch for the signer's identity under oath.

  6. After completing a notarial act, the notary discovers a typographical error in the certificate date. What is the proper procedure?

    Answer: Draw a single line through the error, make the correction, and initial it

    Corrections on a notarial certificate should be made by lining through the error, inserting the correction, and initialing the change — never using white-out.

  7. Under Alaska law, may a notary who is also a party to a transaction notarize documents for that same transaction?

    Answer: No, a notary must not notarize if they have a direct financial or beneficial interest

    Alaska law prohibits a notary from performing a notarial act in which they have a direct financial or beneficial interest in the transaction.
