  1. A Montana notary performs a remote online notarization. How is the notarial certificate treated?

  2. Which statement about Montana's requirement to use an official stamp on paper certificates is correct?

    Answer: The stamp must be affixed to the certificate of every notarized paper record

    Montana requires the official stamp on the certificate of each notarized tangible record.

  3. A signer presents a certificate with wording from another state that a Montana notary does not recognize. When may the notary complete it?

    Answer: When the wording contains no false statements and corresponds to a notarial act the notary may perform

    Out-of-state certificate forms may be completed if they are not false and match an authorized notarial act.

  4. What is the consequence if a Montana notary affixes the official stamp to a blank certificate for a customer to fill in later?

    Sealing an incomplete certificate is misconduct because the notary certifies facts that have not occurred.

  5. A document's certificate has no room for the stamp impression. What is the proper Montana practice?

    Every certificate must state the date of the notarial act along with venue, signature, and stamp.

  7. A Montana notary changes their legal name after marriage. What should they do about the stamp?

    Name changes must be reported to the Secretary of State, and the stamp must match the name under which the notary acts.
