✍️ Sample ND NOTARY Questions & Answers

1. Is a North Dakota notary required to have errors and omissions insurance?

✓ It is recommended but not always required by law for traditional notaries, though it may be required for remote notarization

While E&O insurance is strongly recommended for all notaries, North Dakota may require it specifically for remote online notarization but not necessarily for all traditional notarial acts.

2. What information should be recorded in a notary journal for each notarial act?

✓ The type of document, date, signer’s information, and type of identification

A notary journal in North Dakota must contain detailed records for each notarial act, including the date and time, the type of notarial act, a description of the document, the signer's name and address, the method of identification used, and the fee charged. This comprehensive record-keeping is essential for accountability and fraud prevention.

3. What must a North Dakota notary public do to their official seal if their commission is revoked or expires without renewal?

✓ Destroy or deface the seal so it cannot be used

Upon the end of a commission, a notary should destroy or deface the official seal to prevent any unauthorized or fraudulent future use.

4. What must a North Dakota notary do before performing any notarial act?

✓ Verify the identity of the signer through personal knowledge or satisfactory evidence

Before performing a notarial act, the notary must verify the signer's identity either through personal knowledge or satisfactory evidence such as a government-issued photo ID.

5. What distinguishes an oath from an affirmation in North Dakota?

✓ An oath invokes a higher power while an affirmation is a solemn promise without religious reference

An oath traditionally invokes God or a higher power, while an affirmation is a solemn pledge made without religious reference. Both carry the same legal weight.

6. A person wants their signature notarized but presents only a library card as identification. What should a North Dakota notary do?

✓ Refuse because a library card is not an acceptable ID

North Dakota requires government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license or passport; a library card is not an acceptable form of identification.
