How to fill out a notary journal!


 Subject: New Video! 3 Must-Know Tips for Filling Out Your Notary Journal 📖✍️

Hi Notary Family!

I just released a new YouTube video sharing 3 essential tips for properly filling out your notary journal! Keeping a well-maintained journal is crucial for protecting yourself and ensuring compliance.

📌 Here are 3 key tips to follow:

1️⃣ Record Complete Details – Always include the date, type of notarization, signer’s name, and ID details. If there are multiple signers, list each one separately.

2️⃣ Get a Clear Signature & Thumbprint—Some states require a thumbprint for documents like real estate transactions. It’s a great way to add extra protection even if it's not needed.

3️⃣ Use Specific Notes—Document anything unusual about the signing, such as a signer’s reluctance, language barriers, or questionable ID. These notes could protect you later!
