✍️ Sample WI NOTARY Questions & Answers

1. Should a Wisconsin notary record the address of the signer in their journal?

✓ Yes, recording the address helps confirm the signer's identity and location

Recording the signer's address in the journal adds a layer of identification documentation and is part of thorough best-practice record keeping.

2. If a Wisconsin notary's journal is lost or stolen, what should they do?

✓ Report the loss to the Department of Financial Institutions and consider notifying law enforcement

A lost or stolen journal should be reported to the DFI and potentially law enforcement, as it could be used to facilitate fraud.

3. What is the effect of a Wisconsin notary failing to administer the oath during a jurat?

✓ The jurat is defective and may be legally challenged

Failing to administer the oath is a critical defect in a jurat because the sworn oath is an essential element of that notarial act.

4. When only ONE credible witness is used to identify a signer in Wisconsin, that witness must be:

✓ Personally known to the notary

When relying on a single credible witness, Wisconsin law requires that witness to be personally known to the notary performing the notarial act.

5. What language must a Wisconsin notarial certificate be written in if the notary does not understand the language of the document?

✓ English

Wisconsin notarial certificates must be in English so the notary can complete and understand the certificate even if the underlying document is in another language.

6. What oath wording should a Wisconsin notary use when administering an oath for a jurat?

✓ Do you swear (or affirm) that the statements in this document are true to the best of your knowledge?

The standard jurat oath asks the signer to swear or affirm that the statements in the document are true to the best of their knowledge.
