Can We notarize a document written in pencil?

Notary law doesn’t address a document written in pencil. However, the statute does say a notarial officer may refuse to perform a notarial act unless refusal is prohibited by law. If We do not feel comfortable notarizing a document written in pencil – and the National Notary Association certainly would discourage that We do – this statute may give us the right to refuse.

So if you cannot type your document please write your document with a pen not a pencil.

What if a document doesn't include a certificate?

The signer needs to know what type of notarial act they need. Notaries aren't allowed to choose the type of notarization on a signer's behalf. If the signer isn’t sure what notarial act is needed, they can contact the agency that issued or is receiving the document or an attorney for instructions. They will tell you what notarial act is needed, and you can attach and complete the appropriate certificate form.

A Notary may also complete both an acknowledgment and a jurat for the same signer on one document but signer will have to pay twice.
