Notaries and Out-of-State Commissioners

Passed

P HB218

Notaries Public. Clarifies provisions relating to the adoption of electronic notarization and transitioning to the required seal application on notarized documents. The bill also clarifies the validity of documents notarized within and without the Commonwealth, and when documents are conclusively presumed to be in proper form following recordation. The bill removes the requirement that a notary must be recommended by a public official for appointment. This bill is identical to SB 621.

This bill incorporates SB 327 and SB 550. Also states that any document executed before July 1, 2008, that does not have the notarial certificate wording on the same page as the signature is valid as long as it is executed properly otherwise.
