  1. An Indiana notary receives a document with blank spaces that should contain information. What should the notary do?

    Answer: Refuse to notarize until all blanks are completed by the signer

    A notary should refuse to notarize a document with blank spaces that are meant to contain information, as this could lead to fraud after notarization.

  2. Can an Indiana notary notarize a document that has been previously notarized by another notary?

    Answer: Yes, a document may require multiple notarizations for different signers

    A document may be notarized multiple times, such as when different signers appear before different notaries at different times.

  3. An Indiana notary is presented with a document in which several pages are stapled together. What is the best practice?

    Answer: Review the entire document to ensure all pages are present and intact

    Best practice is to review the entire document to ensure completeness and that pages have not been altered or removed.

  4. What should an Indiana notary do if a document does not include a notarial certificate?

    Answer: Add the appropriate notarial certificate as directed by the signer or the document's requirements

    If a document lacks a notarial certificate, the notary may attach the appropriate certificate (acknowledgment, jurat, etc.) based on the signer's instructions or the document's requirements.

  5. An Indiana notary notices that a document appears to have been altered after it was originally signed. What is the proper course of action?

    Answer: Refuse to notarize and suggest the signer obtain a clean copy

    If a document shows signs of alteration, the notary should refuse to notarize it and recommend the signer obtain an unaltered copy.

  6. When attaching a loose certificate to a document, what should the Indiana notary include to link the certificate to the document?

    Answer: A description of the document including title, date, number of pages, and signer's name
