Ok Julie, how are you going to get around this little jewel from the
Kansas Secretary of State web site?
The signature must physically take place in front of the notary. This
commission does not allow a notary to notarize a document that was
previously signed and then electronically submitted to the notary.
You must also have a notarial bond in place so that in the event you
somehow damage someone or violate any law, rule or regulation of the
state of Kansas or any other state the state whose law you have
violated or the person you have damaged can come after your bond. So
how are you going to get around the fact that the person whose
document you notarize did not physically stand in front of you and
show you two forms of identification, one of which must carry a photo
of the person whose documents you notarize?
Are you really a notary? Do you have your notarial bond on file with
the state of Kansas? If not then you are illegally operating under the
color of law and can be jailed for that act.
Any notary from any state who notarizes a document for someone who is
not physically standing in front of that notary is committing a felony
act. All it takes is someone to report what is going on to the
Secretary of State and that notary is going to be in big, big
trouble.
Also what are you charging people for your so called services? There
is a schedule of fees for each notarial act that is publicly
available. Notaries may not charge more than the amount allowable
under state law. Those fees are usually around $5.00 or less. Get
caught charging more than what is allowable under state law and you
will soon have some very real problems.
I'm not a notary but my Mrs. is. I have to make very sure that she
don't violate any laws. She not only has her notarial bond registered
with the state but has $10,000 in Errors and Omissions insurance as
well. I pay all her notarial costs and make sure she keeps her
lawfully required log book and complies with all state laws. She keeps
all the money she earns from being a notary which isn't nearly enough
to pay all the costs. She is lucky to make $100 a year and that don't
cover the costs. I don't even let her notarize most things for me
because she is my wife and notarizing things for members of her
immediate family is illegal in most cases. Car titles and things like
that are OK but not court papers.
I file a lot of things in court and I won't let her notarize any of
that stuff. She can do it for other people but not for me.
Get caught notarizing stuff for people from other states who are not
physically standing in front of you is highly illegal and can get you
in big, big trouble. The man from Utah or other states needs to find a
notary in their own state or city they can go to personally and get
the job done right. If they can't find one then they need to do what I
do and get someone they know well to do their notary work for them.
You don't have to believe what I am saying. All you have to do is get
a copy of your state notary public's handbook and see what it has to
say about what you can and cannot do. If you don't understand or need
more clarification then call up your Secretary of State and ask them.
If it isn't legal then don't do it.
What you are offering to do is a felony offense.
