✍️ Sample MI NOTARY Questions & Answers
1. Which of the following is considered acceptable satisfactory evidence of identity for a signer appearing before a Michigan notary?
A current U.S. passport is a government-issued photo ID that qualifies as satisfactory evidence of identity under Michigan notary standards.
2. What is the significance of the 'notarial certificate' in a Michigan notarial act?
The notarial certificate is the required wording that identifies the type of notarial act, date, and the notary's identity and authority.
3. A notary employed by a bank notarizes loan documents for bank customers. Who typically pays the notary fee?
Banks often absorb notary fees as part of their service, and the notary-employee may be prohibited by the employer from collecting fees personally.
4. May a Michigan notary accept a gratuity (tip) in addition to the maximum statutory fee?
Michigan law sets a strict maximum per notarial act, and accepting payment above this cap—whether called a tip or otherwise—would constitute overcharging.
5. Which Michigan state official is responsible for appointing notaries public?
The Michigan Secretary of State has the authority to appoint and commission notaries public.
6. May a Michigan notary's seal be used by another person to notarize a document?
A notary's official seal is personal and may only be used by the notary to whom it was issued—no delegation is permitted.
