  1. What should a North Dakota notary record in their journal if a notarization is refused?

    Answer: The date, signer's name, reason for refusal, and type of document presented

    Recording refused notarizations protects the notary by documenting why they declined and provides a record if questions arise later about the transaction.

  2. In North Dakota, can an expired ID be used for notarization purposes?

    Answer: Generally no, the ID should be current and unexpired

    For satisfactory identification, the ID should be current and unexpired. An expired ID raises questions about whether it still accurately identifies the person.

  3. What is the consequence of a notary failing to maintain a proper journal in North Dakota?

    Failure to maintain a proper journal is a violation of notary law and can result in disciplinary action by the Secretary of State, including suspension or revocation of the notary's commission.

  4. How should a North Dakota notary handle a situation where the signer's name on the document differs from their ID?

    Answer: The notary should notarize using the name as it appears on the ID and note the discrepancy

    The notary should use the name as shown on the identification and may note any discrepancy. The notary should not alter the document but can notarize if identity is established.

  5. What technology-related option exists for notarial acts in North Dakota?

    Answer: Remote online notarization (RON) is permitted under North Dakota law with specific requirements

    North Dakota has enacted laws permitting remote online notarization, allowing notaries to perform certain acts via audio-video communication technology with specific identity verification requirements.

  6. What should be included in the notary's official stamp or seal in North Dakota?

    Answer: The notary's name, the words 'Notary Public,' 'State of North Dakota,' and the commission expiration date
