No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Good
morning,
hey,
I'm
danielle
forte,
I'm
the
clerk
of
superior
court,
and
I
would
like
to
welcome
you
all
to
our
notary
training
today,
those
that
are
in-house.
You
should
have
gotten,
maybe
a
card,
a
pencil.
If
you
have
any
questions
for
everyone,
that's
in-house
those
that
are
virtual
can
submit
their
questions
in
the
check
box.
A
Again,
I'm
danielle
forte
clerk
of
superior
and
state
courts.
You
see
walking
around
my
chief
deputy
clerk,
sharonda,
huff
and
outside
were
two
of
my
employees,
sheena
parks,
assistant,
chief,
deputy
clerk
and
linda
darr.
I
mean
not
linda
darba,
kathy
lender,
a
deputy
clerk
who
was
outside
so
for
those
of
you
in
here.
Of
course,
you
know
we're
in
columbus,
georgia,
muskogee
county.
A
There
are
some
individuals
that
are
participating
virtually
from
as
far
as
maybe
florida,
maybe
some
in
atlanta,
but
this
notary
training
is
in
reference
to
being
a
muskogee
county
notary
and
in
a
little
while
we're
going
to
begin
the
training
from
the
clerks
authority,
which
is
in
atlanta,
we
have
two
people
facilitating
that
training.
We
have
rachel
rice
who's.
Let
me
get
rachel's
title
here
really
quickly:
rachel
rice
who's
with,
let's
see,
I
thought
I
had
it
written
here,
but
they'll
enter.
A
I
want
to
let
everyone
that's
involved
and
hear
and
present
that
this
is
notary
training,
meaning
that,
if
you're
interested
in
becoming
a
notary,
this
is
great
information
for
you.
But
at
the
end
of
this
training
you
will
not
be
a
notary.
You
will
learn
about
the
process
how
to
how
to
apply
whether
this
is
for
you,
but
I
did
want
to
be
very
clear
that
the
completion
of
this
training
does
not
make
you
a
notary.
There
are
steps
that
have
to
be
followed,
which
should
be
a
part
of
the
training
session.
A
Also,
if
you
are
already
a
notary,
this
will
kind
of
broaden
your
knowledge
base
and
you
can
get
a
little
bit
more
additional
training
on
what
that
looks
like
and
what
all
applies
to
becoming
a
notary.
Our
second
housekeeping
matter
is
for
you
to
please
be
patient
with
us.
This
is
our
first
time
doing
this
type
of
training
session
virtually
so
you
may
have
seen
walking
around.
I
would
like
to
thank
michael
king
who's,
our
manager
of
our
columbus
consolidated
government
tv.
A
We
also
have
bruce
lee,
that's
probably
in
the
control
room,
who's,
our
multimedia
and
communication
specialist,
and
we
have
darian
redmond
who's,
our
technical
operations
manager.
So
I
just
wanted
to
thank
them
and
for
you
all
to
kind
of
be
patient
with
us
and
we'll
we'll
get
through
this
and
get
you
all
the
training
that
we
can
during
this
session.
A
A
We
also
have
an
email
address
of
the
clerk
service
at
columbusga.org
for
follow-up
questions
and
information.
And,
lastly,
you
can
also
go
to
our
website
at
muskogeecourts.com.
A
Now
that
information
will
also
appear
again
at
the
end
of
the
training
session,
so
if
you
didn't
get
that
it's
coming
up
again,
so
no
worries
there,
so
we
will
be
repeating
that
information
and
that's
also
for
our
virtual
participants.
That
card
at
the
very
end
for
follow-up
questions
should
also
pop
up
for
everyone.
A
A
B
Thank
you
danielle
greatly
appreciate
that,
and
we
are
thrilled
that
everybody's
joined
us
they're
in
columbus
and
also
online,
as
as
daniel
mentioned,
I'm
mike
smith,
the
clerk's
authority
rachel
rice
also
helping
with
this.
So
the
way
we
approach.
This
is,
as
I
go
through
this
presentation,
which
should
be
about
90
minutes
or
so
for
those
of
you
online.
B
If
you
have
questions
or
comments,
please
utilize
the
chat
box,
because
rachel
monitors
that
and
as
we
go
through
this
90
minutes
as
she
deems
appropriate,
she
may
break
in
and
bring
up
a
question
you
have
or
whatever
and
of
course
those
of
you
folks
in
there
in
columbus,
a
different
way
will
submit
the
questions.
Someone
will
submit
that
to
the
chat
box
if
we
get
to
the
end-
and
we
haven't
had
time
to
address
your
question.
That's
okay,
as
danielle
said,
there's
avenues
for
that
through
her
office.
B
I'll
also
share
contact
information
for
rachel
and
I
and
then
we
will
certainly
address
that
there's
you
know
we
have
our
direct
phone
numbers
and
emails
and
and
all
that
so
greatly
appreciate
that
one
thing
to
remind
folks
online
is:
please
stay.
Muted-
and
that
doesn't
mean
on
hold,
because
if
you
put
us
on
hold
here
on
hold
music
now,
rachel
does
have
the
authority
for
as
administrator
to
mute
everyone,
but
prefer
not
to
do
that
again.
B
Use
the
chat
box
and,
as
danielle
said
at
the
end
of
this
we're
going
to
share
the
powerpoint
presentation,
which
then
she
will
post
to
her
website
and
you're
and
and
it's
free
to
share
with
anyone.
You
want
to
print
it
and
hand
it
out
or
give
it
to
friends
or
or
that
kind
of
thing
we
greatly
appreciate
it.
We
what's
interesting
is
a
little
history.
We
started
doing
these
type
of
classes.
B
We
just
do
them
intermittently
whenever
a
clerk
asked
us
to
do
them
and
the
first
one
we
ever
did
was
right
there
in
columbus
at
the
library.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
I
think
it
was
probably
2013.
I
think,
rachel
something
like
that
2014.
So
this
is
where
we
started
and
we've
seen
a
tremendous
amount
of
response
from
the
folks
joining
us
online,
also
also
there.
So
without
that,
let's,
let's
let's
get
going
so
regardless
of
you
know
what
your
paying
job
is
a
lot.
B
A
lot
of
us
have
jobs
where
you
follow
a
code
of
ethics.
B
Some
people
will
just
follow
a
personal
code
of
ethics,
but
you
know
certainly
people
that
work
in
education
or
the
medical
field
or
the
legal
field.
That
type
of
thing
there's
a
code
of
ethics
and
there's
also
one
that
we
adhere
to,
and
we
promote
this
as
a
way
for
notaries
to
execute
their
duties
as
as
a
notary.
So
I
like
to
go
through
these.
B
B
Most
people
are
not
required
to
come
before
notary
that
many
times
in
their
whole
lifetime,
so
they
they
may
or
may
not
understand
the
process,
but
they
do
have
amount
of
trust
in
you
that
you
know
what
you're
about
to
do,
what
you're
doing
so
and
the
second
bullet
says
to
maintain
a
professional
manner
suitable
to
the
office.
I
hold
I'd
like
to
point
out
the
word
office
there.
So
what
you
do
as
a
notary
or
the
position
you
have
as
a
notary
is
considered
it's
an
office
in
that
sense,
maintaining
a
professional
manner.
B
Yes,
I
understand
that
many
times
people
notarize
for
their
friends
or
co-workers.
I
get
that
I
always
remain,
maintain
a
professional
manner
in
that
because,
as
we
go
through
these,
you
may
not
think
of
it
this
way,
but
not
only
are
you
representing
yourself,
obviously,
as
another
republican
I
mean
it's
got
your
name
on
the
seal
you're
representing
the
state
of
georgia,
because
those
words
are
on
your
seal
and
you're,
representing
if
you're
commissioned
there
in
muskogee
county
you're,
representing
danielle
as
the
elected
officials,
official
who's
responsible
for
notaries
in
muskogee
county.
B
So
now
the
third
one
says
to
treat
each
individual
fairly
and
equally
with
kindness
and
respect.
Obviously
that
doesn't
necessarily
that's
not
only
being
a
notary.
I
mean
in
this
day
and
time
you
know
who
couldn't
use
little
extra
kindness
and
respect
to
always
be
satisfied
that
the
individual
appearing
before
me
understands
the
contents
of
the
document
to
be
executed
or
owed
to
be
administered
before
proceeding
as
a
notary.
It
is
your
responsibility
to
use
your
judgment.
You
can
ask
questions,
be
direct.
B
Do
you
understand
what
this
document
is?
Have
you
had
a
chance
to
review
it?
That
type
of
thing
it
doesn't
mean
that
you,
as
a
notary,
have
to
has
to
understand
it
or
understand
the
contents,
but
it's
your
responsibility
to
gain
some
understanding
from
the
signer
that
they
understand
what
it
is
you're
about
to
do
to
always
satisfy
myself
as
to
the
identity
of
the
individual
appearing
before
me
in
my
capacity
as
notary
public.
B
That
is
one
of
the
cornerstones
of
what
it
is
you
do.
As
a
notary,
you
must
be
satisfied
that
that
person-
you
know
that
person
standing
or
sitting
across
from
you
is
who
they
say.
They
are
and,
of
course,
there's
ways
they
do
that
right.
They
present
satisfactory
evidence
of
id
to
you.
That
means
that
that
id
typically
a
driver's
license.
That's
the
most
common
thing.
B
Now,
assuming
you
don't
know
the
person
right,
let's
exclude
that,
but
that
that
person
presents
satisfactory
evidence
of
id
so
that
you
gain
confidence
that
that
person
is
who
they
say
they
are
do
not
betray
the
confidence
of
any
individual
appearing
before
me.
So
I've
always
interpreted
that,
as
you
may
have
a
sidebar
conversation
with
the
signer
or
signers,
or
it
may
be
directly
related
to
the
document
whatever
might,
regardless.
B
Whatever
happens
between
you
and
signer
should
stay
between
you
and
the
signers
to
never
perform
any
notarial
act
in
which
I
am
a
party
of
interest
or
from
which
I
stand
to
benefit
now.
Not
only
is
this
a
a
code
in
this
ethic
in
the
code
of
ethics,
this
is
prohibited
by
law
and
we'll
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
later.
You
cannot
be
a
party
to
a
document
and
also
the
notary
and
you're,
probably
shaking
your
head.
Of
course.
B
I
know
that,
but
I
promise
you
it
does
happen
to
never
divulge
the
contents
of
any
document
nor
the
facts
of
execution
of
that
document
without
proper
authority
again.
This
goes
back
to
the
level
of
trust
the
signers
placed
in
place
with
you
and
keeping
information
or
conversations
that
you
may
have
learned
or
had
with
the
signer,
keep
that
to
yourself
and
confine
it
to
an
ontario
act
right.
B
So
that
is
important
to
keep
informed
of
the
law
regarding
the
duties
and
powers
of
the
office
of
notary
public
in
my
jurisdiction
and
not
compromise
that
law
actually
you're
doing
that
today.
By
being
in
on
you
know,
on
this
training
call
or
in
person
there
in
columbus,
you
are
keeping
informed
of
the
law
regarding
the
duties
and
powers
of
office
in
their
opponent,
regardless
of
whether
you've
never
been
a
notary,
or
maybe
you've
been
a
noted
for
20
years.
B
It
doesn't
matter,
but
you
are
accomplishing
that
by
being
here
today,
to
not
use
the
office
of
notary
public
as
a
means
of
financial
gain
for
myself
or
others
in
any
other
business
or
profession.
Again,
information
you
may
learn
during
the
doterra
act.
You
keep
it
to
yourself.
You
should
not
use
that
to
benefit
you
or
others
to
exercise
extreme
care
to
ensure
the
notarial
seal
stamp
and
records
are
kept
in
a
safe
place
and
are
not
used
by
any
other
person.
You
should
always
know
where
you
know.
B
Terrial
seal
is
maybe
you
you
know.
Maybe
you
are
fortunate
to
have
a
private
office.
You
can
put
it
in
you
lock
it
in
a
desk
or
you
know
many
people
don't
have
private
offices.
Maybe
you
work
in
an
open
environment
where
you
share
space
with
people
what
it
might
be,
of
course,
this
day
time
a
lot
of
people
work
from
home.
B
A
local
judge
had
been
using
the
seal
of
the
notary
seal
of
someone
that
worked
for
him.
Apparently,
when
the
notary
was
not
there
either
the
evening
of
the
weekends.
If
this
judge
needed
something
notarized,
he
knew
where
the
seal
was,
and
he
was
well
that's
one
thing.
B
The
accusation
also
was
that
by
signing
the
the
notary
certificate
as
a
notary,
that's
forgery,
which
is
a
whole
different
thing
anyway,
I
haven't
I
haven't
heard.
I
was
waiting
to
hear
back
how
that
turned
out,
which
you
know
anyway,
but
that
that
that's
a
good
example
of
again
the
notary.
B
The
notary
is
not
in
trouble.
I
mean,
as
far
as
she
didn't
violate
law,
but
the
clerk
was
going
to
address
this
with
her
about
keeping
your
seal
in
a
secure
location,
okay
and
the
final
one
to
always
conduct
myself
and
perform
my
duties
in
a
manner
in
which,
in
a
manner
which
will
bring
credit
to
myself
and
the
office
of
other
republic
again
whatever
it
is,
you
do
as
a
notary.
B
It
reflects
not
only
on
you,
it
reflects
in
the
state
of
georgia
and
it
reflects
on
again
if
you're,
wherever
you're,
commissioned
muskogee
danielle
and
her
office
whatever
it
might
be,
always
be
conscious
that
and
then
so
anyway,
those
are
again.
These
are
going
to
be
available
in
this
powerpoint
presentation
and
I
think,
there's
a
really
well
written,
so
a
question
that
we
get
and
I
tried
to
frame
it
more
in
a
general
term-
is
why
are
documents
notarized?
B
Why
is
it
that
a
receiving
party,
for
instance,
has
determined?
I
want
that
document
coming
to
me.
I
want
that
signed
by
my
customer,
for
instance,
in
front
of
someone
who
has
been
duly
vetted
to
authorize
and
authorize
to
witness
that
signature.
Well,
it's
because
it
deters
fraud
right,
an
impartial
witness,
a
notary
witnesses,
the
signer
or
signers
fix
their
signature
to
the
document
right,
and
that
second
paragraph
I'd
like
to
point
out.
It
says
a
society
in
a
society
in
which
business
dealings
between
strangers
are
the
norm
rather
than
the
exception.
B
Notaries
create
a
trustworthy
environment
where
strangers
are
able
to
share
documents
with
full
confidence
and
their
authenticity,
so
that
that
receiving
party,
unless
it's
a
a
prescribed
like
a
legal
document
like
a
real
estate
document
where
the
law
requires
it,
be
notarized,
you
know
a
private
document
whatever
it
might
be.
B
Is
that
the
receiving
party,
for
instance,
a
bank,
says
I
want
that
document
notarized
before
I
accept
it,
and
so
because,
as
that
last
part
of
that
paragraph
says,
is
the
act
of
the
notary
or
the
of
the
notary
creates
a
trustworthy
environment.
It
brings
trustworthiness
to
the
receiver
of
the
document
to
know
that
that
document
was
signed
by
their
customer
in
front
of
someone
who
is
authorized
to
witness
that.
That's
exactly
why
documents
are
notarized.
B
Now
a
few
things
we'll
talk
about
today.
You
will
not
find
in
georgia
law.
Unfortunately,
georgia
law
related
to
the
notary
process
has
not
been
updated
in
decades,
but
anyway,
so
we'll
we'll
mention
things
that
are
considered
best
practices
within
the
industry,
and
this
is
one
of
them.
The
question
is:
should
I
maintain
a
notary
journal?
We
strongly
recommend
that
notaries
maintain
a
journal.
I
do
it
not
that
I'm
better
than
anybody
else,
but
I
just
do
it
I'll
learn
to
do
it.
Rachel
isn't
as
a
as
a
notary.
B
She
maintains
a
journal,
and
so
those
of
you
that
have
never
done
this.
It's
it's.
The
journal
captures
all
the
relevant
elements
of
the
doterra
act,
as
it
says
in
that
second
bullet
point:
the
signer's
name.
You
know
the
telephone
number,
the
date
and
time
of
notarization,
the
time
of
id
the
type
of
id
presented
by
the
signer.
B
All
that
kind
of
stuff
and
I'll
show
you
here
is
a
sample
from
my
journal
and
the
interesting
thing
about
this
is
you
can
see
where
I
circled
those
dates
and
notarization
that
goes
back
over
22
years
ago,
october,
26
1999,
and
this
it
is
a
bit
unusual
that
both
of
these
were
done
on
the
same
day.
So
the
reason
I
want
to
share
this
is
because
you
can
see-
and
you
can
find
these
journals
a
lot
of
places.
You
can
go
online
and
bomb.
You
can
find
them
at
the
office
supply
places.
B
Since
georgia,
as
a
state
doesn't
require
it.
I
mean
you
can
make
up
your
own,
it's
really
for
your
protection
and
the
signage
protection.
If
you
ever
had
to
refer
back
to
a
notaril
act-
and
you
know
so
you
have
it-
you
have
the
pertinent
information
there,
so
you
can
see
where
I
circled
the
date
and
you
notice
upper
right
hand
corner
the
signer,
not
only
signed
the
document
which
you
know
they
took
with
them.
B
But
again,
it's
not
required,
but
strongly
recommended
that
you
maintain
a
journal,
and
the
price
of
these
is
all
like
they're,
not
very
expensive
and
depending
on
how
often
you
notarize
documents,
this
certainly
will
play
into
how
how
often
you
have
to
buy
another
journal
again,
you
can
make
you
could
again
you
make
your
own
if
you
want
to
okay
all
right,
so
some
of
you
may
have
been
on
our
website
and
seen
our
online
course,
which
we
offer
for
free.
B
We
started
doing
that
years
ago
in
an
effort
just
to
get
information
out
of
folks.
Just
like
this
class,
we
also
print
a
handbook,
in
conjunction
with
a
group
called
the
american
society
of
notaries
that
some
of
you
may
have.
We
sell
that
book
and
I
can
tell
you
about
that
a
little
bit
later
anyway.
B
So
what
we're
about
to
see
here
is
an
example
of
our
online
class
and
there's
also
an
online
exam
that
you
you
can
take,
and
so
it's
kind
of
a
fun
little
exercise
we'll
go
through
some
of
these
questions.
We'll
see
how
much
you
know.
So
this
is
true
or
false.
A
georgian
notary
public
may
perform
official
acts
anywhere
in
the
united
states
in
its
territories
and
possessions.
Is
this
true
or
false?
A
georgia
nota
republic
may
perform
official
acts
anywhere
in
the
united
states
in
its
territories
and
possessions.
B
Of
course,
I
can't
see
you
there
in
columbus,
but
some
people
may
raise
their
hand,
and
the
answer
to
this
is
false.
As
the
answer
says,
georgia
notice
may
only
form
acts
within
the
physical
boundaries
of
the
state
of
georgia
and
where
I
can
cite
the
code
section.
The
law
which
says
that
45-17-0
answers
the
question
where
no
terror
lights
may
be
exercised,
then
it
says
no
terrible
acts,
maybe
exercise
in
any
county
state.
B
What
that's
saying
is
once
you
are
commissioned
in
any
particular
county
in
your
case,
most
of
you
being
from
muskogee
once
you're
commissioned
there,
then
you
may
perform
official
acts
in
all
of
the
counties
within
the
fiscal
boundaries
of
state
of
georgia,
so
that
would
include
not
just
muskogee
but
the
other
158
counties.
B
Okay,
within
the
fiscal
boundaries
of
the
state
of
georgia,
because
some
people,
you
know
working
different,
you
know
you
live
in
one
county.
You
work
in
a
different
county,
whatever
you
by
the
way,
you're
always
always
always
commissioned
in
the
county
in
which
you
live.
I
don't
it
doesn't
matter
that
you
may.
You
might
spend
more
time
at
work
than
you
do
at
your
house.
Doesn't
matter
it's
always
where
you
live
now.
I
know
with
muskogee
being
a
bordering
state
in
the
state
of
alabama.
B
There
is
a
provision
that
allows
for
an
alabama
resident
to
become
a
georgian
notary
if
they
can
prove
they
work
in
georgia.
That's
a
whole
different
thing,
but
anyway
so,
and
while
I'm
speaking
of
that,
I
just
want
to
clear
up
any
confusion.
B
Some
folks
confuse
the
commissioning
process
with
the
area
which
you're
allowed
to
notarize.
What
I'm
trying
to
impress
upon
you
with
this
slide
is
this.
It
does
not
matter
where
the
document
may
have
originated.
B
B
Sometimes
you
don't
know
where
it
originates,
it
doesn't
matter
and
the
person
is
from
the
country
represented
by
that
flag,
which
is
ireland,
so
it
would
be
unusual
yes,
but
you're
say
you're
at
your
place
of
business
there
in
columbus,
someone
comes
in,
they
have
a
document
they're
from
ireland.
It
doesn't
matter
as
long
as
that.
Signer
can
present
satisfactory
evidence
of
id.
That
means
satisfactory
to
you.
Maybe
it
doesn't
have
to
be
like
a
georgia
driver's
license.
It
could
be
from
another
state.
B
Maybe
they
have
a
passport
from
the
european
union.
I
don't
know,
maybe
they
have
a
an
irish
driver's
license,
but
if
you
determine
as
the
clerk
as
a
clerk
as
the
site
as
the
notary
that's
as
satisfactory,
then
you
can
accept
that
and
just
and
then
move
on.
Okay,
but
there's
there's
sometimes
confusion
about.
B
You
know
the
signer's
not
from
my
county.
The
signer
is
not
from
georgia
or
whatever
it
does
not
matter
as
long
as
they
can
prove
that
as
long
as
they
can
prove
that
to
you
number
two,
a
responsibility
of
the
notary
is
to
verify
the
validity
of
the
document.
Again.
Is
this
true
or
false?
The
responsibility
of
the
notary
is
to
verify
the
validity
of
the
document.
B
You
probably
answered
this
correctly.
It
is
false.
The
notary's
job
is
not
to
validate
the
document
another's
primary
function.
As
I
point
out
in
the
answer,
there
is
to
prevent,
deter
fraud,
which
comes
from
that
earlier,
a
slide
we
talked
about
by
always
requiring
personal
appearance
right
and
the
signer
identifying
themselves
through
either
personal
knowledge
or
satisfactory
evidence.
A
validate
okay.
The
fact
that
you
are
notarizing
or
performing
a
tarot
act
does
not
add
legal
weight
to
the
document.
B
B
Current
law
says
that
the
the
designer
they
must
be
in
physical
presence.
B
However,
since
the
since
coveted
came
along
in
march
of
2020,
the
governor
of
georgia
at
that
time,
issued
an
executive
order
that
allows
for
what's
called
audio
visual
technology
to
be
used
in
the
execution
of
teralac,
meaning
that
you
know
you're
the
notary
you're
sitting
here
and
you
employ
something
like
zoom
or
facetime
on
your
iphone
and
you
witness
the
sign
or
sign
the
document
in
a
remote
location,
meaning
that
they're
not
where
you
know
they're,
not
in
your
physical
presence.
B
B
B
That
would
then
allow
for
what's
called
these
remote
material
acts,
but
right
now,
for
just
the
average
notary
like
me,
that
executive
order
doesn't
apply
to
me
because
unless
I'm
going
to
have
a
georgia
license
attorney
oversee
it,
and
so
I
don't
have
any
notaries
you're
doing
that,
except
for
people
that
work
in
real
estate,
probably
anyway,
right
now
the
law,
the
law
does
not
allow,
for
you,
know,
audio
visual
technology
to
be
used,
but
that's
probably
going
to
change
right
now
I
mean
it's
coming:
it's
going
to
come
in
georgia
right
now.
B
There
are
about
40
states
that
either
have
already
employed
or
allow
for
some.
You
know
an
electronic
video
technology
to
be
used
or
what's
called
a
remote
act
or
they're
they've
already
passed
a
law
which
goes
into
effect
in
a
future
date.
So
it's
coming
to
georgia,
just
don't
know
when
and
so
for
things
like
that.
Of
course
we
monitor
those
those
movements
in
our
legislature
and
then,
of
course,
danielle's
office
will.
So
we
would
let
people
know
when
and
if
that
might
happen,
all
right
number
four.
B
When
performing
a
notarial
act,
the
notice
should
indicate
in
the
material
certificate
the
state
and
county
of
the
novice
residents.
Is
that
true
or
false
when
performing
an
ontario
act?
The
number
should
indicate
in
the
material
certificate,
the
state
and
county
notice
residents.
I
will
tell
you
this
most
people
answer
this
incorrectly.
So
what
I'm
talking
about
is
you
know,
you'll
see
the
document
and
it
says:
can
the
state
of
georgia
county
blank
what
goes
in
there,
but
the
statement
is
absolutely
false.
What
goes
in
that?
B
Blank
is
wherever,
where
the
doterra
act
is
taking
place
physically.
Where
are
you
when
you
perform
that
act
right?
You
may
be,
you
might
be
in
muscogee
county,
a
notary,
but
you
might
be.
I
don't
know
it
might
be
to
chattahoochee
county
or
whatever.
So
if
that
happens,
then,
wherever
you
perform
that
act,
the
county
of
chattahoochee
would
be
in
that
space.
B
Now,
if
you
haven't
been
doing
that,
you
didn't
do
anything
wrong,
you
have
to
change
anything,
go
back
whatever,
but
this
point
forward
then
always
put
the
county
name
of
where
you
are
physically.
When
you
perform
that
act
and
while
I'm
thinking
about
it,
you
you
might
get
a
a
document
where
it
doesn't
say
state
of
georgia,
you
might
say
state
of
florida
whatever,
because
maybe
the
maybe
the
template.
The
document
was,
you
know,
developed
by
somebody
in
florida.
B
It
doesn't
matter
what
I've
done
is
strike
through
the
word
florida,
for
instance,
and
right
in
georgia,
but
anyway
that's
a
little
sidebar,
but
but
yeah
always
where
are
wherever
you
are
physically,
is
what
goes
in
that
in
that
space
number
five,
a
person
may
act
as
the
notary
for
his
or
her
sister,
involving
a
power
of
attorney,
giving
him
or
her
the
notary,
the
authority
to
care
for
the
sisters
minor
child.
B
Is
this
true
or
false?
A
person
may
act
as
a
notary
for
his
or
her
sister,
involving
the
power
of
attorney,
giving
him
or
her
the
notary,
the
authority
to
care
sisters
mighty
child.
Now
why
I'm
teaching
these?
In
person
before
I
even
finish
this
sentence,
I
can
see
people
just
move
their
head
back
and
forth
nope.
B
So
most
people
get
the
correct
answer,
but
not
everyone
answers
it
for
the
correct
reason
it
is
false,
but
it's
not
because
they're
related
georgia
law
is
silent
on
whether
you
are
allowed
to
perform
acts
for
family
members,
which
means
you
can't
as
a
best
practice.
It's
recommended
that
you
don't
notarize
for
family
members
and
that's
because
you
don't
want
to
perform
an
act
and
there
might.
It
might
cast
a
shadow
upon
the
transaction
because
you're
related.
B
I
understand
there
are
times
where
you
cannot
avoid
it,
but
you
know
the
best
practice
try
to
avoid
it,
but
in
this
case
it's
prohibited
by
law,
because
the
the
signer
notary
does
stay
in
the
game
because
it
says
it
says
that
the
note
is
prohibited
by
george
locke
from
performing
tarot
like,
and
I
cite
that
45
17
eight
there
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
in
just
a
second
number.
Six,
and
sometimes
I
hesitate
to
even
put
this
question
in
there
and
I
can
just
see
rachel
smiling.
B
B
The
answer
to
that
is
false.
Some
of
you
may
not
know
this.
The
maximum
allowable
fee
is
two
dollars
that
has
been,
as
I
mentioned,
early
on
georgia
law
later
than
the
terror
act
has
not
been
updated
in
years
and
years
here,
and
a
lot
of
people
have
stories
where
either
as
the
sign
or
they've
been
overcharged
or
or
they're
charging
too
much
as
a
notary.
B
Quite
simply,
it's
probably
ignorance
of
the
law,
which
is
no
excuse.
I
know
that,
but
what
I'd
suggest
to
people
is
if
they
are
they're,
if
they're
the
victim
of
this,
you
know
and
you
contact
your
clerk's
superior
court.
B
So
if,
if
it's
a,
if
it's
a
muskogee
county
notary
doing
this,
certainly
you'd
want
to
address
that
with
danielle
on
her
staff,
if
it's
a
notary
in
a
different
county
and
of
course,
you'll
know
that,
because
the
county
name
is
in
the
seal,
you
could
address
it
with
that
clerk's
spirit,
so
45,
17
11,
two
dollars
per
natal
act,
is
the
maximum
like,
and
so
I'm
thinking
about
the
next
question
usually
is
well
you
know:
can
I
charge
a
travel
fee
to
the
signer?
B
Certainly
you
can,
but
you
want
to
address
that
prior
to
driving
somewhere
and
you
want
to
be
specific
about
what
that
fee
is,
and
if
you
are
notarizing
documents
say
as
a
side,
business
or
something
I
assume
you're
gonna
write
receipts
for
these
people.
These
signers.
I
would
if
that,
if
I
was
gonna,
do
that
that'd
be
a
separate
line
item,
so
I
would
have
you
know,
I
know.
Tara
light
is
two
dollars
and
travel
fee
is
whatever
20,
whatever
you,
whatever
you
in
the
center
agree
on
that,
okay,
okay,
yes,
ma'am
may.
C
I
interject
right
now
regarding
the
comment
was
made
that
there
was
not.
There
is
nothing
as
a
signing
agent
in
georgia,
and
so
there
was
also
that
a
follow-up
question
we've
heard
about
loan
signing
agents.
Can
you
become
a
signing
agent?
Would
you
address
that
real
quick?
Please.
B
Georgia
doesn't
recognize
a
special
type
of
note.
We
call
a
signing
agent.
I
know
some
states
do
that.
I
know
some
states
actually
encourage
they
actually
and
some
of
the
private
organizations
offer
training
in
that
and
here's
why
georgia
is
what's
called
an
attorney-only
state,
meaning
that
for
real
estate
type
transactions
they
must
be
conducted
by
and
overseen
by,
georgia
licensed
attorney,
that's
not
the
case
in
most
states.
B
I
caution
you
and
our
role
is
just
to
point
that
out
we're
not
the
notary
police.
The
closest
thing,
I
guess
you'd
say,
would
be
a
danielle.
B
You
know
if
someone
you
know
if
someone
files
complaint
or
whatever,
but
back
to
what
rachel
said,
georgia,
there's
no
special
class
of
a
notary,
a
notary
is
a
notary.
Isn't
it
right?
So
just
be
very
careful
with
with
that,
with
with
you
know,
performing
those
types
of
real
estate
transactions
without
the
presence
of
a
georgia
licensed
attorney.
Unfortunately,
it's
something
that
we
because
of
let
me
think
because
of
information
that
comes
out
of
a
few
national
organizations.
B
They
would
have.
You
believe
that
georgia
allows
that
they
don't,
and
it
was
reiterated
again
in
2003
when
the
georgia
supreme
court
approved
not
approved,
but
they
confirmed
an
earlier
opinion
that
supports
what
I'm
telling
you
that
you
know
any
conveyance
of
property
deed
has
to
be
overseen
or
supervised
or
performed
by
a
georgia
licensed
attorney,
and
that's
just
the
way.
It
is
so
so
anyway
and
look
this
conversation.
B
I've
had
with
many
folks
and-
and
we
can
but
that's
it-
I
mean
it's
just
you
know,
and
I
know
that
people
may
be
looking
to
to
do
that
as
make
some
extra
money
or
whatever.
But
you
got
to
be
careful
with
that
now
any
other
type
of
document,
a
non-real
estate
document
you
want
to
travel
and
what
that's
fine?
You
know,
but
it's
it's
real
estate
yeah.
So
I
hope
that.
B
Okay,
thank
you.
Yes,
ma'am
all
right,
number,
seven
true
or
false.
A
notary
may
perform
an
ontario
act
for
someone
who
is
signing
by
mark
when
that
person
cannot
make
a
quote-unquote
normal
signature.
B
B
The
term
right
there
loosely
is
normal,
meaning,
you
know
like
a
cursive
type
thing.
You
know
signature
and
the
answer
that
is
true
right.
A
notary
may
reform
no
terror.
Like
someone
who
signed
my
mark,
you
know
and
whatever
the
reason
maybe
the
the
person
has
some
physical
impairment
that
doesn't
allow
them
to.
You
know
hold
the
pen
that
would
make
some
nice
pretty
cursive
signature.
B
Maybe
they
choose
not
to
whatever
again
another
good
reason
to
keep
a
journal
because
you're
going
to
have
the
person
make
that
mark
on
the
document
which
obviously
they
take
with
them,
but
they're
also
going
to
make
that
mark
in
your
journal
and
you'll
have
a
record
of
that
right.
It
could
be
someone
who's,
never
learned.
You
know
to
write
cursively.
B
You
know
I
might
hear
us
all
the
time.
That's
a
concern
for
some
parents.
Maybe
it's
not
concerned
for
some,
but
that
you
know
schools,
don't
teach
cursive
writing
anymore.
I
don't
know
if
that's
true
or
not,
I
mean
I
think
something
to
do,
but
in
general
it's
not
that
there's
not
a
big
emphasis
on
that.
B
So
you
know,
I
guess,
when
those
kids
get
older,
they
have
to
officially
sign
something
on
this,
the
print
I
suppose,
but
as
we
as
we
as
we,
you
know
advance
every
year,
it
seems
like
the
requirement
for
for
us
to
put
pen
to
paper
to
officially
sign
something
become
less
and
less
right.
A
lot
of
us
done
electronically.
Now
you
know
you
have
pdf
format
where
you
can
sign
things
electronically
or
whatever.
It
might
be.
Anyway,
point
being
here,
it
is
certainly
okay
to
notarize.
B
For
someone
who
signs
by
mark
and
cursive,
writing
is
simply
mark
two
number
eight.
It
is
considered
a
best
practice
for
notaries
to
keep
copies
of
the
documents
they
notarize
in
order
to
protect
themselves.
In
the
event,
a
complaint
of
misconduct
is
filed
against
them.
Is
that
true
or
false,
it
is
considered
a
best
practice
for
notaries
to
not
keep
copies.
B
Please
please.
Please
do
not
do
this
two
reasons
I
can
think
of.
Personally
I
have
enough
my
own
stuff.
I
don't
need
to
keep
other
people's
stuff,
but,
more
importantly,
if
I,
as
a
notary,
decide
to
retain
a
copy
of
someone's
document,
I
may
not
be
even
be
aware
of
the
liability
that
that
I
have
now
taken
on
by
having
a
copy
of
that
document
in
my
possession.
B
You
know
there
might
be
some
personal
financial
information
in
that
I
don't
know
health
information,
whatever
just
don't
make
copies
of
the
documents
you
notarize
again,
another
reason
to
keep
a
journal
where
you
have
a
record
of
that.
You
don't
need
to
give
a
copy
document
as
the
record
just
don't
take
on
the
liability,
okay
and
if
you've
been
doing
that,
I
suggest
that
you
shred
that
stuff
and
just
get
rid
of
it.
Okay
for
those
of
you
that
are
not
notaries.
Currently,
let
me
go
through
these
qualifications
fairly
quickly.
B
They're,
not
overbearing,
and
you
can
find
this
in
in
code
section
4517-2,
those
of
you
aren't
familiar,
you
can
just
google
georgia
code,
the
words
georgia
code,
lexus
nexus
is
a
company
that
provides
a
search
tool
for
free
and
then
you
so
45
is
title.
45
chapter
17,
section
2.,
so
notary
law
is
in
title
45
and
you'll.
You
dig
down
you'll
see
it's
pretty
self-explanatory,
but
you
must
be
at
least
18.
You
must
be
a
u.s
citizen
or
a
legal
resident
of
the
u.s.
B
You
must
be
a
legal
resident
of
the
county
from
which
the
individual
is
appointed
right.
So
in
your
case,
if
you
live
in
muskogee
danielle
and
her
staff
are
going
to
require
you
to
present
id
right
most
common
thing
being
a
driver's
license,
you
must
have
the
time
of
application
operating
telephone
number.
B
Now
this
was
put
in
the
law
in
early
2000's
back
before
everybody
had
cell
phones,
but
it
was
just
an
effort
by
in
case
someone
needs
to
contact
you
for
whatever
reason
you
must
be
able
to
read
and
write
the
english
language,
okay.
B
Okay,
so
once
you
submit
the
application,
what
happens?
B
We
the
clerks
authority,
we
have
zero
authority,
we
we're
not
involved
in
the
approval
or
denial
of
applications.
Now
we
support
clerks
in
this
process.
We
provide
the
online
application
and
that
we
provide
training
like
we're
doing
today.
That
kind
of
thing,
but
we're
not
involved
in
that
all
discretion
lies
in
the
clerk
spiritual
and
they
can
base
that
approval
or
denial
on
the
following
things:
the
applicant's
criminal
history.
So
in
the
application
you
are
required
to
list
any
criminal
convictions
you
may
have
had
in
the
past.
B
Okay,
some
clerks
are
now
requiring
that
you
provide
a
criminal
background
check
as
part
of
the
application
process
that
varies
from
county
to
account,
but
I
will
tell
you
this
and
I
realized
this
is
a
non-issue
for
most
folks.
You
have
no
convictions,
but
if
you
have
something
in
your
past,
it
is
much
better
to
list
it
and
then
have
a
chance
to
explain
it
than
it
is
to
not
list
it
and
the
clerk's
office
finds
out
after
the
fact,
because
if
that
happens,
I
can
tell
you
what's
going
to
happen.
B
Is
they
will
revoke
your
commission
if
they've
already
issued
it,
because
at
the
end
of
that
application,
you're
signing
a
sworn
state
to
the
truthfulness
of
the
information
you've
entered
there
so
anyway,
and
I've
heard
all
kinds
of
things
you
know
a
25
year
old,
dui
conviction
a
gentleman
put
on
there
and
the
clerk
actually
appreciated
the
fact
that
they
listed
because
they
probably
wouldn't
send
anyway.
That
was
not
a
reason.
B
I
know
it
went
back
35
to
40
years
prior,
and
so
when
the
clerk
did
some
digging,
they
found
out
the
circumstances,
and
after
that,
this
person,
you
know
rehabilitated
themselves.
B
You
know
whatever
was
anyway
had
a
history
living
in
this
county
in
the
a
good
history
and
the
clerk
granted
the
application,
even
though
a
person
had
listed
this
conviction
if
you've
ever
had
any
other
like
a
professional
license
or
another
notable
commission
revoked
or
suspended,
the
clerk
can
consider
that
the
any
of
those
type
things
they
consider
or
number
four
says.
B
If
the
applicant's
found
by
the
state
bar
of
georgia,
a
court
of
this
state
or
a
court
of
any
other
state
to
engage
in
the
unauthorized
tracks
of
law,
that
would
be
a
reason
for
the
clerk
to
deny
your
application.
So
now,
if
the
application
is
denied
c
talks
about
that,
you
do
have
recourse
as
an
applicant.
You
can
appeal
that
decision
right
back
to
the
clerk
who
just
denied
your
or
revoked
your
or
denied
your
application.
B
If
you
don't
like
that
decision,
you
can
request,
as
it
said
in
that
last
sentence
or
the
in
the
last
couple
of
lines,
what's
called
a
de
novo
appeal,
meaning
that
there
would
be
a
non-jury
hearing
for
judge
honestly,
I
can't
recall
a
clerk
ever
telling
me
where
that's
happened,
but
maybe
has,
but
I'm
not
aware
of
it
so,
but
you
do
have
recourse.
If
that's
the
case.
Okay,.
B
B
For
the
note
for
the
seal,
a
note
republic
shall
provide
a
seal
of
office.
Now
some
people
use
the
word
seal
and
stamp
interchangeably.
That's
fine!
We
shall
have
first
impression
the
notaries
name,
the
words
notary
republic,
the
name
of
the
state
and
the
county
of
his
or
her
appointment.
B
I
mentioned
that
before
the
embossment
of
the
material
certificates
by
the
notary
cell
shall
be
authorized
but
not
necessary,
and
the
use
of
a
rubber
or
other
type
stamp
shall
be
sufficient
for
printing
the
seals,
notably
so
you
can
use
an
embosser
or
a
rubber
type
stamp.
It
does
not
matter,
obviously
don't
use
both
at
the
same
time.
That's
overkill
right
and
I
had
a
note
as
a
best
practice.
A
rubber
stamp
device
should
only
use
blue
or
black
ink.
B
B
I
don't
know
something
like
that,
but
but
nothing
crazy
like
your
favorite
school
color,
which
is
orange
whatever,
but
you
know
certainly
not
red,
but
if
it's
yeah,
blue
or
black
ink
please
for
the
rubber
stamping
devices,
there
really
is
no
one
who
oversees
the
companies
that
make
the
seals
really.
This
next
section
is
the
only
thing
that
addresses
something
to
them.
B
It
says
it
shall
be
unlawful
for
any
person,
firm
or
corporation
to
supply,
a
noted
public
seal
to
any
person
unless
the
person
has
presented
the
duplicate
original
of
their
certificate,
commissioned
the
person
as
another
republic.
Okay.
So
if
you
approach
a
company,
whether
it's
online
or
in
person
to
make
your
seal
and
they
don't
ask
for
a
copy
of
their
certificate-
that's
a
big
big,
big,
big
red
flag.
B
That
means
that,
well,
that
would
give
me
pause
and
I
would
think
they
don't
know
what
they're
doing
and
to
continue
that
it
shall
be
unlawful
for
any
person
to
order
or
obtain
another
public
seal
unless
such
person
is
commissioned
as
another
republican.
That's
why
the
requirement
is
put
on
the
filmmaker
to
ask
for
that
copy.
If
that
weren't
in
there,
then
somebody
anybody
just
walk
in
and
say
I'm
a
notary.
You
know
here's
my
driver's
license.
Can
you
make
this
seal?
B
I'm
not
naive
enough
to
say
that
doesn't
happen.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
we
received
word
two
three
years
ago
that
some
online
manufacturer,
one
online
manufacturer,
was,
was
doing
this
and
it
was
through.
It
was
doing
amazon
through
amazon.
It
was
an
amazon
company
and
so
clerk
superior
here
wrote
a
letter
to
amazon
amazon
promised
they
would
take
action.
I
really
don't
know
at
this
point
what
they
did
but
yeah.
B
So
even
if
you
buy
the
still
online,
they
should
ask
you
to
upload
a
a
digital
copy
of
that
certificate.
Okay,
there
is
no
official
training
on
where
to
fix
the
seal.
B
B
Sometimes
these
documents
presented
to
you,
the
whoever
divine
whoever
developed
these,
didn't,
consider
the
notaries
space
they'll,
give
you
a
lot
of
space
to
imprint
your
seal.
So
if
you
ever
need
this,
you
can
go
to
our
our
notary
section
in.
Under
the
I
mean
the
form
section
under
the
notary
section,
and
you
can
print
these
out
depending
on
what
type
of
no
tarot
act
that
you're
that
you're
performing-
and
you
can
see
from
this-
you
know-
oh
actually,
rachel
had
to
get
since
we
did.
B
This
rachel
had
to
get
her
commission
renewed,
because
this
expired
last
may
it's
may
25th.
Her
commission
was
fired
so
anyway,
close
proximity
to
you
know
you
can
the
seal
can
be
round
like
hers,
it
can
be
rectangular,
the
law
doesn't
talk
about
shape
and
all
that,
but
so
there's
that
I
just
want
to
point
that
out
to
you.
B
So
what
is
it
that
notaries
have
the
authority
to
do?
45-17-8
speaks
to
that
in
general
terms,
notary
no
republic
shall
have
the
authority
to
witness
or
attest
signature
or
execution
of
these
and
other
written
instruments.
That
is
a
great
majority
of
what
it
is
you
do,
even
though
you
might
not
think
of
in
these
terms.
If
someone
is
signing
a
document
in
front
of
you,
you're
witnessing
that
that
falls
under
number
one.
You
can
take
acknowledgements
where
someone
acknowledges
to
you.
That
knowledge
is
excuse.
B
Me
acknowledges
to
you
that
that
is
my
signature,
or
that
is
a
statement
that
I
signed
before.
B
You
can
also
number
three
you
can
administer
oaths,
don't
know
how
many
of
you
have
ever
been
asked
to
administer
an
oath.
Typically,
that
would
be
direct
you
through
the
certificate
language
presented
to
you.
There's
no
official
way
to
do
that.
I've
done
it
a
couple
of
times
had
the
person
you
know,
raise
your
right
hand
and
administer
vote.
You
can
witness
affidavits
upon
oath
of
affirmation,
so
that's
fairly
common
affidavits
and
taking
verifications
upon
those
affirmations.
B
You
are
allowed
number
six
s
to
make
certain
certified
copies,
provided,
though
the
document
presented
is
an
original
and
it's
not
a
public
record
or
publicly
recorded.
Now.
How
would
you
know
that?
Well,
you
may
not,
but
some
good
examples
of
public
records
are
well
like
a
lot,
a
lot
of
things:
a
lot
of
documents
filed
in
danielle's
office,
real
estate
documents,
civil
court
documents
and
that
type
of
thing.
If
someone,
for
instance,
wanted
you
to
certify
a
copy
of
say
the
deed
to
their
property,
they
want
an
official
certified
document.
B
B
B
No
notice
shall
be
obligated
to
perform
the
terror
act
if
he
or
she
feels
such
act
is
right.
No
one
can
demand
that
you
perform
in
a
terror
life
right
in
these
situations,
for
a
transaction
which
the
notary
knows
or
suspects
is.
The
illegal
faults
are
deceptive.
If
you
suspect
that
something
illegal
or
false
of
a
second
is
going
on,
you
can
refuse
to
act
as
a
notary,
and
certainly
if
you
know
that
it
is
illegal
for
success,
you
certainly
should
decline
to
act.
B
You
may
feel
that,
in
the
examples
that
we
have
been
told
over
the
years,
typically,
sadly,
where
a
coercion
occurs
is
not
between
strangers
is
between
family
members,
classic
example
is
where
you
have
an
older
family
member
who
have
may
have
certain
assets
that
they've
accumulated
over
their
lifetime.
That
now
the
say
adult
children
want
access
to,
or
you
know,
and
so
they
are
going
to
coerce
the
older
person
to
sign,
say,
for
instance,
the
power
of
attorney,
giving
them
the
the
younger
folks,
the
children.
B
You
know
access
to
the
to
the
older
persons
assets.
If
you
believe
that
there's
coercion
going
on,
you
should
decline
again.
This
goes
back
to
the
beginning.
Where
I'm
you
know,
as
a
notary,
you
should
engage
people
in
conversation.
You
should
be
asking
questions
because
there's
there's
that's
the
only
way
you're
going
to
determine
this.
B
B
Their
behavior,
the
person's
behavior,
gives
you
pause,
whether
you
know
you
think
maybe
they're
they're
in
under
the
influence
of
drugs
or
alcohol.
Maybe
you
believe
that
their
mental
capacity,
whatever
reason
they're
not
capable
of
understanding
again
it
goes
back
to
asking
this
question.
Have
you
had
an
opportunity
to
opportunity
to
read
this
document?
Do
you
understand
what
we're
about
to
do?
A
classic
example
that
I
was
told
several
years
ago
is:
there's
a
a
woman.
Who's
won
these
classes
that
we
did
periodically.
B
B
You
know
of
the
person,
that's
gonna
sign
and
she
said
I
I
would
have
conversations
with
you
know,
whoever
it
is.
I
was
asked
to
come
out
and
witness
them
sign,
and
through
that
conversation
I
was
able
to
determine
that
if
the
person
you
know
did
understand,
you
know
what
it
is
that
we're
about
to
do
or
if,
even
through
that
conversation
the
noted
belief,
the
person
did
not
have
the
capability
of
understanding,
then
she
would
decline.
B
B
I
have
mentioned
this
before
there's
two
two
specific
reasons
that
a
notary
shall
be
disqualified.
You
can
see
c
there
in
the
45-17-8.
B
B
If
you
could
do
that,
then
why
would
we
need
notaries?
But
I
promise
you:
it
happens.
Either
people
don't
care
or
they
don't
know
or
because,
if
you
really
think
about
it,
I
mean
it's
logical
right.
If
I
can
notarize
my
own
signature,
why
would
we
need
notaries
so
that
is
prohibited
by
law?
The
second
one
we've
touched
on
back
in
that
true
false
fill
in
the
blank
exercise.
B
Number
two
says
when
the
notary
is
a
party
to
the
document
or
transaction.
It's
a
notary,
no
terror
acts
required.
You
cannot
be
a
part
of
the
document
or
transaction
and
also
the
notary.
If
they,
if
you're
a
part
of
the
transaction,
just
go,
find
another
node,
don't
try
to.
You
know,
don't
try
to
cut
corners
and
that
kind
of
stuff,
okay,
d-
I
just
doesn't
need
further
explanation.
B
I
mean
it
just
says:
a
notary
public
shall
execute
an
ontario
certificate,
containing
a
statement
known
by
the
notary
to
be
false,
nor
perform
any
action
with
an
intent.
Deceiver
defraud.
Okay,
now
e
contains
a
phrase.
Two
word
phrase:
I've
used
many
times,
and
this
is
where
it
comes
from.
I
I
just
I
didn't.
I
didn't
make
it
up
just
because
it
sounds
good
you're
performing
any
notarial
act.
B
A
noted
republic
shall
confirm
the
identity
of
the
document,
sign
or
oath,
take
it
or
affirm
it
based
on
personal
knowledge,
on
satisfactory
evidence
who
determines
whether
it's
satisfactory?
That's
you
as
a
notary.
The
notary
determines,
if
that's
satisfactory
evidence
again.
The
most
common
id
would
be
a
driver's
license,
but
you
know
it
could
be
anything
that
you
determine
be
satisfactory.
B
You
know
a
lot
of
industries
now
have
photo
ids,
for
you
know:
school
systems,
hospitals,
you
know
college
students
whatever
it
is,
you
know,
passports.
B
B
It
is
not
evidence
that
you,
you
know
the
contents
or
approve
the
contents
of
the
document
right.
That's
all
that's
that's
saying
there
all
right
accepts
otherwise
provide
this
code,
section
otherwise
undocumented
unitarily.
Another
republic
shall
sign
on
the
certificate
by
hand
and
inc
by
hand
any
to
me
right.
You
pick
up
a
pen
in
ink
now
pencil
is
specific
about
ink
okay
again,
just
like
the
rubber
steel
rubber
stamp.
B
Please
take
your
time
and
give
it
some
thought
I
realize.
Sometimes
you
know
where
you're
you're
at
work
and
you
and
you're
doing
other
things
and
someone
comes
in
needs
something
notarized
and
you
know,
and
you're
busy
take
a
pause
transition
to
being
a
notary,
get
your
seal
out
and
take
your
time
when
you
fix
your
signature
to
that
piece
of
paper.
This
image
you're
looking
at
this
is
an
actual
image
of
a
signature
on
a
notary
commission
certificate
sent
to
us
several
years
ago,
mclaren's
office.
B
There
is
no
way
that
I
can
tell
you
what
that
says.
I'm
pretty
sure
there's
no
way
that
you
could
tell
me
what
that
says,
but
as
that
caption
says,
your
signature
is
the
only
element
that
you
add
to
the
document
differentiates
you
and
the
rest
of
the
people
on
earth
right.
It's
not
your
seal
right!
Any
I
mean.
Hopefully
this
doesn't
happen,
but
somebody
else
can
have
access
to
your
seal.
C
B
The
seven
plus
billion
people
in
the
world,
so
it
is
important
signature
signature-
is
very
important
and
in
that
same
vein,
about
ids
that
some
of
you
may
be
too
young
to
know
who
this
is.
I
I
love
this.
I
put
this
in
here
mainly
for
my
entertainment.
I
love
this
photograph,
but
the
question
at
the
top
is:
must
id
presented
by
the
signer,
be
unexpired
again
an
unusual
situation.
You
may
never
be
faced,
but
here's
an
example
I'm
going
to
give
you
so
james
brown,
godfather
soul,
born
in
1933..
B
Okay.
So
you
know,
let's
say
that
that
he
got
his
driver's
license
renewed
when
he
was
70.,
although
I
assume
he
probably
had
a
driver,
but
let's
assume
that
we
don't
know
who
he
is
you
guys
driver's
license
new
to
70.,
and
then
you
know
in
georgia
our
driver's
license
or
licenses
are
effective
for
eight
years.
So
in
the
eight
years
from
the
time
he
turned
70
he
stopped
driving
for
whatever
reason
fiscal
ailment
couldn't
see
well
anymore,
whatever
it
was
so
his
78th
birthday
comes
up
and
he
says
I'm
not
getting
my
license
renewed.
B
It's
not
worth
my
time.
I
don't
drive
a
car
anymore,
okay.
So
then,
two
years
after
that
now
he's
80,
all
he
has
to
provide
id.
Is
this
driver's
license
that
expired
two
years
ago?
What
do
you
do
as
a
notary
if
he
approaches
you
well,
georgia
law
doesn't
address
this,
so
you'll
have
to
use
your
judgment.
Would
you
consider
that
satisfactory
satisfactory
evidence
of
id?
If
you
held,
you
know,
okay,
yep,
I
can
tell
by
the
photograph
that's
him
or
as
a
notary
you
could
say,
don't
care
it
expired.
B
Georgia
law
gives
you
no
guidance
on
that
now,
so
you
go
either
way
again.
You
may
never
be
faced
with
this,
but
I
did
want
to
point
this
out.
If
you
ever
got
an
id
that
was
expired
presented
to
you
by
the
signer.
Do
you
accept
you'll
have
to
determine
whether
that's
satisfactory
evidence
to
you
and
either
way
is
there's
no
right
or
wrong?
It's
whatever
you
decide,
okay,
okay!
So
how
do
you
handle
multiple
signers?
Some
notaries
get
flummoxed.
B
I
guess
is
the
word
overwhelmed
if
you
know,
if
there's
like
five
signers
that
come
in
the
room
or
whatever
they
don't
worry
about
the
number
of
signers,
because
you're
going
to
perform
individual
and
tarot
acts
for
each
one,
don't
care
if
it's
one
or
twenty
one,
you
do
the
same
thing
each
and
every
time
if
the
signature
page
is
laid
out
correctly.
You'll
have
space
for
each
individual
to
sign.
B
You'll
have
a
space
for
you
to
notarize,
you
to
add
your
signature
for
each
signer
and
you'll
have
space
for
you
to
imprint
your
seal
each
time
for
each
one
right
so
again,
now
take
it
a
step
further.
You
know
you
may
look
at
the
signature
page
and
there's
eventually
supposed
to
be
10.
People
in
total
sign
this
document.
Only
three
of
them
maybe
work
in
your
office.
That's
okay,
you're
gonna,
witness
those
three
and
then
they're
gonna
take
the
document
do
whatever.
B
Maybe
it's
going
to
a
different
office
and
those
other
people
sign
it
or
whatever?
It
is
again.
If
you
keep
a
journal-
and
you
ever
ask
about
that-
you
can
say
you
know-
eventually
I
don't
know
about
those
other
seven,
but
I
do
know
that
these
three,
because
I
have
a
record
of
this
in
my
journal.
These
three
on
this
date
did
sign
in
front
of
me.
B
Okay,
again,
multiple
signers,
not
overly
common,
but
it
certainly
can
happen,
but
don't
let
it
throw
you
off
just
because
it's
more
than
than
one
signer
before
you,
okay,
okay,
for
a
change
of
a
residence
or
address
right,
there's
a
process
for
this.
We
have
the
form
in
our
form
section,
so
you
move
so
so
you
get
commission.
B
Let's
say
you
get
commission
in
muskogee
county
well
and
that
commission's
effective
and
good
for
four
years
in
that
four
year
period.
You
know
you
move
to
a
different
county,
I'm
using
chattahoochee
again,
because
I'm
in
my
mind
I'm
picturing,
you
know
where
they
are
but
and
so
what
the
law
requires
you
to
do
is
within
30
days
of
moving
or
changing
residences.
B
So,
even
though
you
might
move
to
a
different
county
outside
of
muskogee,
you
remain
a
muskogen
county
notary
until
the
end
of
that
four
year
period,
and
then
at
that
point,
if
you
wish
to
remain
another,
then
he
would
just
apply
in
your.
You
know
your
county,
where
you
are
at
that
point,
so
you
notify
the
commission
clerk's
superior
court
within
30
days
a
copy
to
us
here
and
then
we
change.
You
know
we
have
that
on
record
for
a
name
change,
there's
an
extra
step
man
so
within
30
days.
B
In
writing.
You
notify
the
commission
clerks
superior
court
a
copy
to
us,
but
then
that
also
requires
you
to
obtain
an
amended
commission
certificate
from
the
clerk
so
that
you
would
have
to
go
into
the
office
and
then
obtain
that
because
then
that's
what
you're
going
to
present
to
get
your
new
seal
mate
with
the
new
name.
B
So
once
you've
done
that
destroy
that
current
seal,
you
don't
want
that
being
used
or
have
fallen
into
someone
else's
hands.
Destroy
the
current
seal.
Take
the
amended
certificate.
You
know
to
or
bottom
line
upload.
You
know
to
get
the
new
seal
mate,
because
so
yes,
you
would
have
a
gap
there,
where
you
wouldn't
have
a
seal
right
between
the
time
you
notify
and
you
destroy
the
current
seal
and
the
time
you
get
in
your
hands
the
new
one,
but
that
is
within
30
days
again.
The
form
is
on
our
website.
B
If
you
choose
to
use
that
template
okay,
and
then
this
is
just
reiterating
that
you
know
once
you
have
the
new,
the
new
sealed
and
that
point
you
can
begin
to
notarize
documents
and
then
again
the
confirmation
has
been
received
by
the
clerk's
office
and
a
copy
to
us
here
in
the
case
of
a
lost
or
or
stolen
seal
within
10
days
of
discovering
that
notify
the
commission
clerk
superior
court
and
copied
us.
B
B
I
know
it's
an
extra
step.
You
know,
for
instance,
in
my
case
I'm
commissioned
with
my
middle
initial.
So
if
I
lost
or
have
my,
if
have
I
still
oh,
if
I
had
my
seal
stolen,
I
could,
in
conjunction
with
notifying
of
the
lost
on
the
seal.
Also
could
do
a
name
change
and
then
what
I
would
do
is
simply
then
be
commissioned
with
my
full
middle
name,
which
would
add
another.
You
know
clear
line
demarcation
before
when
I
had
the
old
ceiling.
B
You
don't
have
to
do
that,
but
some
people
do
that
so
just
pointing
that
out.
Okay,
I
mentioned
before
some
of
you
have
seen
this.
This
is
our
elearn
platform.
We,
this
is
where
the
free
course
is.
We
have
an
exam
there
that
you
can
take.
Some
clerks
have
started
to
mandate
that
their
applicants
successfully
complete
the
exam
it's
up
to
each
individual
clerk.
B
There's
a
ten
dollar
fee
for
that
you
get
two
tries
at
so
it
is
a
series
of
thirty,
as
you
saw
before,
30
fill
in
the
blank
true
faults
that
type
of
thing
a
passing
score
is
90,
which
means
you'd
have
to
get
27
correct.
If
you
do
so,
the
system
will
allow
you
to
print
out
this
nice
pretty
certificate,
stating
that
you,
you
know,
and
you're
winning
and
you're
winning.
B
Listen
your
passing
score
again
no
charge
for
the
course
you
simply
register
there
are
different
modules
pertaining
to
different
subject
matter
within
that
notary
course,
and
then
again,
if
you
want
to
take
the
exam,
please
do
so.
I,
like
I
said
I
don't
have
in
front
of
me,
which
clerks
now
require
the
exam,
but
if
you
live
in
one
of
those
counties
court
you'll
have
to.
But
if
you
want
to
just
test
yourself
and
it's
not
required,
it's
certainly
there
to
do
that
anyway.
B
So
that's
there
for
you
and
you
can
see
if
you
simply
you
know
elearn.gscca.org
and
then
you
would
register
to
use
the
site.
Okay,
all
right.
B
This
is
our
website
and
the
this
is
our
homepage
bottom
right.
Where
the
arrow
is,
you,
click
notre
in
aposties
steal.
Some
people
say:
if
you
do
that,
then
that
takes
the
next
page
and
then
you
can
see
general
information
about
the
notary,
the
application
form
and
notary
law,
and
that's
where
you,
after
that,
you
would
click
on.
You
can
see
the
form
section.
That's
where
you'd
find
the
things
like
the
form
for
the
name,
change,
address,
change,
the
different
types
of
material
acts,
and
things
like
that.
B
If
you
ever
need
any
guidance
on
that,
as
far
as
from
our
website
I'll
give
you
the
contact
information
for
our
help
desk
and
that
type
of
thing
I
do
want
to
reiterate
some
things
that
we
have
talked
about.
I
want
to
leave
some
time
if
rachel
has
any
questions
that
came
through
the
chat
box
or
you
have
some
things
came
to
the
chat
box
or
yeah,
regardless
whether
it
came
online
or
from
from
everyone
there
in
columbus.
B
The
signer
must
always
be
present.
Now,
as
we
move
forward
with
technology,
the
definition
of
present
is
changing.
It
may
or
may
not,
as
if
law
changes
here
may
not
may
or
may
not
be
physically
with
you
as
as
another
right
now
requires.
It
must
always
be
present.
B
Government
issued
id
with
photo
only
now
it
doesn't
have
it's
right.
This
is
a
recommendation
that
it
be
government
issued,
like
I
said,
before,
driver's
license
being
the
most
common
military
ids.
But
you
know
someone
might
work
for
a
hospital
system
or
school
school
system,
certainly
the
government
issue,
but
hospital
system
or
whatever
library
systems
I
mean
a
lot
of
folks
now
have
photo
ids
as
part
of
their
employment.
B
You
may
notarize
in
any
of
the
159
counties
in
georgia
once
you're
commissioned
in
any
particular
county,
you
may
perform
acts
in
all
of
those
counties.
You're
commissioned
by
the
clerk's
superior
court
from
which
you
reside
always
always
always
don't
confuse
that
with
the
fact
you
may
work
in
a
different
county,
always
where
you
reside.
The
commission
is
affected
for
four
years.
The
cost
of
the
commission
varies
from
county
county,
usually
within
a
range
of
47
to
52
dollars.
B
For
that
four-year
commission
contact
the
clerk's
superior
corps
in
your
county
to
find
out
the
exact
fee.
I
will
say
we
are.
We
are
one
of
the
less
expensive
states
in
the
country.
As
far
as
that
that
commission
fee,
we
talked
about
what
you
do
in
the
k
in
the
court
in
case
of
a
change
of
name
or
change
of
address
within
30
days.
B
Notifying
writing
the
clerk
superior
court
with
a
copy
to
us
again.
The
templates
on
our
website,
if
you
choose
to
use
it
within
10
days
of
discovering
your
seal
is
lost
or
stolen
contact
notify
the
clerk
superior
court
with
a
copy
to
us
again,
you
can
do
the
extra
step
of
a
name
variation,
not
required,
but
you
can
do
that.
It's
recommended
strongly
keep
a
journal
again.
You
can
find
these
online.
B
You
can
find
them
in
office
supply
places
or
you
can
make
up
your
own.
Whatever
you
choose
to
do,
recommend
you
keep
a
journal
we
mentioned
earlier.
There
are
four
elements
to
seal.
I
think
it's
important
that
you
know,
because
when
you
go
by
when
you
buy
a
seal,
when
you
walk
into
a
you
know,
office
supply
place
and
then
go
pick
it
up
a
few
days
later
or
whether
you
order
it
online
when
you,
when
you
get
that
seal
in
the
mail
or
it
sounds
silly,
but
please
proof
it
make
sure
is
correct.
B
You
know
your
name
is
spelled
correctly.
You
know
the
county
name
spell
correctly.
The
state
of
georgia's
there
and
all
that
we
have
had
people
tell
us
that
that
has
happened
to
them
where
they
ordered
a
seal
and
they
got
it
back
and
it
wasn't
correct
and
one
lady
had
been
using
it
for
a
couple
months
realized.
B
That's
technically
not
correct,
that's
not
exactly
as
commissioned,
so
she
went
back
to
the
filmmaker
and
they
made
her
another
one
which
reflected
the
name
as
commission,
again
blue
or
black
ink.
Only
for
your
signature
and
your
seal.
For
me.
Personally,
I
prefer
I
prefer
blue
ink
for
the
signature,
and
then
I
have
a
seal.
That's
got
that
black
ink,
but
you
know
whatever
whatever
you
choose,
but
blue
or
blacking
is
recommended.
This
is
danielle's
information
for
her
office.
B
As
you
can
see-
and
I
think
she
mentioned
this
before
we
started
her
customer
service
division.
There's
there's
an
email
directly
to
that
division.
Phone
number
you
can
see
and
with
the
option
one
and
then
overall
there's
the
muskogee
court's
website
again
we're
gonna
make
this
available.
Rachel's
gonna
send
a
copy
of
this
to
to
danielle
and
they
were
gonna
post
this
on
their
website.
But
if
you
I'm
gonna
leave
that
up
for
a
second.
B
If
you
want
to
copy
that
down
or
take
a
screenshot
whatever
it
is,
you
choose
to
do
the
again
clerk
service
at
columbusga.org,
clerkservice,
columbusga.org,
there's
a
phone
number.
B
Then
the
website
muskogee
course
dot
com,
again
muskogee
course
dot
com
and
then
I
wanna
share
also
rachel's
information
as
well
as
mine
right
these
there's.
Obviously
our
email
addresses
those
are
direct
dials
to
our
desks.
We
are
sometimes
not
here,
so
I
strongly
encourage
you
to
utilize
that
help
desk
number.
We
have
someone
on
the
help
desk
from
7
30
in
the
morning
until
six
in
the
evening.
They
can
help
with
everything
from
a
technical
issue-
maybe
you're
you
know
maybe
you're,
taking
the
course
and
something
that
kicks
you
out
or
whatever.
B
You
know
we're
not
hardcore
about
that
like
if,
if,
if
you
paid
to
take
an
exam
and
you
get
kicked
out,
whatever
rachel
can
easily
reset
that
it's
not
a
big
deal
and
then
that's
our
our
main
website
bottom
gscca,
dot
org.
So
with
that,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
attention
and
anyone
rachel.
If
there's
anything
popped
up
in
the
chat
box,
certainly
bring
it
out
now
and
then
after
that,
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
danielle,
because
she
has
some
closing
comments.
I
believe.
C
C
I
I
can't
tell
you
in
all
the
years
that
we
mike-
and
I
have
done
that
in
the
last
two
years,
where
we've
been
doing
this
remotely,
that
it
makes
a
tremendous
difference
when
you
utilize
the
chat
and
you
stay
muted.
So
I
just
want
to
tell
everyone
thank
you
and
thank
danielle
and
her
office
for
hosting
this.
Thank
you
mike
for
teaching
this,
but
that's
it.
As
far
as
my
end,
the
chat
you
guys
were
awesome
on
chat,
so
I.
B
Just
want
to
say
also
that
we're
going
to
repeat
this
class
at
one
o'clock,
not
that
any
of
you
want
to
build
it's
going
to
be
the
same
thing,
but
if
you
know
of
someone
you
think
might
benefit
from
this.
Maybe
somebody
a
co-worker
or
whatever
they
can
they
can
either
through.
You
know,
show
up
there
in
columbus
or
you
know,
contact
our
help
desk
and
we
could
you
know
they
can
access
the
class
through
that,
but
so
danielle.
A
Yes,
yes,
great
job,
michael,
that
was
michael
smith,
with
the
the
full
name,
is
the
georgia
superior
court
clerk's
cooperative
authority,
but
we
say
the
clerk's
authority
mike
excellent
as
usual,
very
good
training
session
and
rachel.
Thank
you
so
much
for
taking
care
of
us
in
the
chat
box.
A
A
All
right,
everyone
we're
going
to
get
started.
My
name
is
danielle
forte,
I'm
the
clerk
of
superior
and
state
court,
and
I
want
to
welcome
you
all
to
our
notary
training
today
before
we
get
started.
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
all
know
that
we
we,
I
don't
want
to
say
we
sold
out,
but
it
felt
like
we
sold
out
within
a
day
and
a
half.
A
We
are
filled
to
capacity
virtually
and
reserved
spots
in
person
as
well,
although
maybe
not
everyone
showed
up,
but
just
to
let
you
know
that
this
was
a
well-attended
function
and
we
greatly
appreciate
it
with
me
is-
and
you
may
have
seen,
but
I
have
some
of
my
employees
around.
I
have
my
chief
deputy
clerk
sharonda
huff
outside
those
that
are
in
person,
sheena
parks,
assistant
chief
deputy
clerk
was
outside.
A
I
guess
checking
you
all
in
and
also
we
had
kathy
linder
who's,
a
deputy
clerk.
We
have
also
in
the
audience
diane
roser
who's.
Also
one
of
my
deputy
clerks.
We
facilitate
the
notary
applications
and
things
of
that
nature,
more
stuff
that
you're
about
to
learn
about
through
our
office
and
sometimes
if
the
schedule
allows
some
of
my
employees
will
come
in
order
to
get
updates,
which
brings
me
to
one
of
our
first
housekeeping
matters
that
I
want
to
stress.
A
This
training
is,
as
for
those
that
are
interested
in
becoming
a
notary,
are
those
that
are
already
notaries
and
just
want
to
get
a
little
bit
more
training
and
a
little
bit
more
information,
the
application
process
and
how
to
become
a
notary.
All
that
good
stuff
will
be
covered
in
the
training
session
and
also
we'll
give
you
some
information
for
those
that
did
not
get
their
questions
or
their
information
fully
covered
on
how
you
can
follow
up.
But
I
do
want
to
stress
that
this
training
session
is
just
informative.
A
It's
not,
it
doesn't
have
anything
to
do
with
anyone
officially
becoming
a
notary.
I
also
wanted
to
be
clear
that
those
virtually
and,
of
course,
those
in
person
that
we
are
in
columbus,
georgia,
muskogee
county,
and
so
this
training
session
is
geared
toward
those
that
wish
to
become
notaries
in
the
county
of
muskogee
county.
A
This
is
our
first
time
doing
this
type
of
training
virtually
in
the
past,
we've
always
kind
of
sold
out,
but
we
did
not
have
to
reserve
spots
because
of
covet,
and
so,
as
you
will
see
on
the
screen,
the
training
will
be
facilitated
through
the
georgia
superior
court
clerk's
cooperative
authority,
which
we
short
shortened
to
the
clerk's
authority
and
they're
in
the
atlanta
metro
area,
and
they
will
be
facilitating
the
training
through
zoom,
and
you
will
see
it
on
the
screen,
those
that
are
in
person
and,
of
course
those
that
are
virtual,
will
see
that
through
their
computers,
some
of
our
superstars
that
are
helping
us
with
this.
A
We
have
bruce
lee
our
multimedia
and
communication
specialists
and
at
one
point
he
might
be
around,
but
we
did
have
darien
redmond
who's,
our
technical
operations
manager,
those
of
you
that
are
in
person,
you
should
have
received
a
card
and
an
index
card
for
questions
and
also
a
card
that
will
have
follow-up
information.
So,
but
first
thing
is
the
card
for
questions.
If
you
need
to
ask
a
question,
please
raise
your
hand.
A
A
A
And
that'll
be
option
one
again
at
706,
653
43
51..
Now
for
those
of
you
virtually
that
are
like,
oh,
my
goodness,
she
went
too
fast.
I
didn't
get
all
that
information.
Guess
what,
at
the
end
of
the
presentation,
we
will
flash
that
card
which
would
give
which
gives
you
that
information,
so
that
you
can
utilize
every
avenue
possible
for
your
follow-up
questions.
A
Also,
if,
at
the
end
you
have
to
leave-
and
you
can't
get
that
information
or
you're
not
able
to
stay
for
the
complete
session,
we
got
a
remedy
for
that.
You
can
go
to
the
website
and
the
slide
show
will
be
presented
to
you
sometime
after
the
training
session,
we'll
try
to
get
that
up
as
soon
as
possible,
but
through
google
or
just
calling
our
office
we'll
be
sure
to
get
you.
A
The
information
that
you
need
in
order
to,
I
guess,
feel
comfortable
with
the
training
session
and
and
address
all
your
follow-up
questions
that
you
may
have
before.
I
introduce
the
two
superstars
that
will
be
facilitating
the
clerk's
training.
I
wanted
to
announce
to
all
of
our
virtual
participants
that
the
best
way
to
proceed
with
this
training
is,
if,
if
all
of
you
mute
your
mics
on
your
computer,
if
everyone
can
be
muted,
that
would
best
facilitate
the
training
session.
A
A
I'm
sorry
someone's
saying
something:
okay,
I'm
sorry!
It
might
have
been
echo
sorry
about
that,
but
she
will
be
facilitating
the
chat
box
and
and
chiming
in
when
necessary,
and
the
actual
training
session
will
be
conducted
by
michael
smith,
who's,
director
of
communications
and
compliance
with
the
clerk's
authority.
So
without
further
ado,
I
thank
you
all
for
coming
and
I
turn
the
program
over
to
them.
B
Thank
you
danielle
greatly,
appreciate
that
and
welcome
to
y'all
there
in
columbus
and
everyone
online.
My
name
is
mike
smith,
with
the
clerk's
authority
and
rachel
rice
is
here
as
well.
We
double
team
this,
so
primarily
I
I
do.
The
training
rachel
is
monitoring
the
chat
box.
B
So
as
people
enter
questions
or
comments
as
she
deems
appropriate,
she
may
jump
in
no
two
classes
are
alike,
and
so,
and
at
the
end
of
this,
as
danielle
said
this
powerpoint
presentation
her
office
will
make
available
on
her
website.
If
you'd
like
to
review
it
there,
you
can
make
copies
of
it.
If
you
like,
and
contact
information
both
for
her
office
and
our
office,
I
will
have
at
the
end
of
the
presentation,
I'll
reiterate
what
danielle
said.
Please
stay
muted.
B
I
think
sometimes
people
confuse
that
with
putting
us
on
hold,
and
we
don't
don't
do
that
because
we
end
up
hearing
your
own
hold
music
and
as
nice
as
it
might
be.
So
what
we're
gonna
talk
about
today
is
basics
of
how
to
perform
the
function
of
being
a
notary,
whether
you
are
totally
new
or
whether
you
have
been
doing
this
for
15
or
20
years.
I
do
believe
you
may
learn
something
through
this
class
hope.
B
I
always
learn
something
from
the
feedback
I
get
from
y'all
and
I
take
that
forward
and
I
use
it
in
my
next
classes
so
again
avail
yourselves
of
that
of
that
chat
box,
and
we
will
address
those
as
we
go
along
so
in
in
the
notary
world.
You
know,
being
a
notary
is
there's
a
profession
to
it
being
professional,
conducting
yourself
in
a
certain
manner,
and
things
like
that.
B
So,
as
far
as
your
standards
of
conduct
there's
a
code
of
ethics,
you
know
a
lot
of
professions
have
codes
of
ethics,
so
medical
community,
legal
education-
and
so
I
think
it's
important
this
is
this
code
of
ethics-
is
something
that
we
recommend
that
notaries
follow
and
I
want
to
go
through
these
and
if
you
have
any
comments
or
suggestions,
certainly
use
a
chat
box,
but
the
first
first
point
says
to
uphold
the
trust
placed
to
me
by
the
public
I
serve.
B
You
may
not
realize
this,
but
most
people
that
come
before
you
that
need
documents.
Notarized,
don't
do
that
a
lot
and
they
are
assuming
that
you
know
what
you're
doing
and
that's
how
you
build
trust
with
the
public,
so
you're,
building
a
trust
and
uphold
that
as
you
move
along
to
maintain
a
professional
manner
suitable
to
the
office.
I
hold
that
phrase
the
office
so.
B
The
function
of
another
republic,
there
is
an
office
part
of
it.
I
don't
know
if
you
realize
this
or
not,
but
that
the
fact
just
the
act
of
the
clerk's
office
commissioning
you
as
a
notary
is
a
civil
act
under
georgia
law,
which
I
think
is
a
pretty
big
deal.
So
maintaining
professional
matter
is
important
to
treat
each
individual
fairly
and
equally
with
kindness
and
respect.
But
quite
honestly,
this
applies
to
everything
right
I
mean
in
this
day
and
time
who
couldn't
use
an
extra
a
little
bit
of
extra
kindness
and
respect.
B
So
why
shouldn't
that
come
you
know
from
the
notary
serving
the
public
to
always
be
satisfied
that
the
individual
appearing
before
me
understands
the
contents
of
the
document
to
be
executed
or
oath
to
be
administered.
Before
proceeding,
you
should
always
ascertain
whether
the
signer
or
for
multiple
signers
have
an
understanding
of
what
it
is
that
you're
about
to.
Do
you
ask
the
question:
you
have
a
conversation
with
the
the
signer.
Do
you
understand?
B
B
The
next
bullet
point
says
to
always
satisfy
myself
as
to
the
identity
of
the
individual
appearing
before
me.
In
my
capacity
as
another
republic,
this
is
one
of
the
cornerstones
of
what
it
is
you
do.
As
a
notary,
you
must
be
satisfied
that
the
person
who
sits
across
from
me
or
stands
across
me
or
whatever
is
who
they
say
they
are
now
removing.
B
You
know
that
you,
if
you
have
personal
knowledge
of
the
person,
that's
one
thing,
but
if,
if
someone
unknown
to
you
approaches
you
about
notarizing
a
document,
you
must
be
satisfied
with
their
identity.
And
how
do
you
do
that?
Well,
they
provide
what's
called
satisfactory.
Evidence
of
id
you
as
a
notary
are
the
ones
that
are
is
are
the
ones
that
determine
whether
that
id
is
satisfactory.
B
The
most
common
piece
of
id
would
be
a
driver's
license
right,
but
there
are
all
kinds
of
ids.
It's
recommended
that
the
iwb
government
issued
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that,
but
always
be
satisfied
to
the
identity
as
to
the
identity
of
the
individual
appearing
before
you
to
not
betray
the
confidence
of
any
individual
appearing
before
me.
B
Again,
this
emphasizes
that
the
business
you
conduct
with
the
signer
stays
between
you
and
the
signer
within
that
capacity
to
keep
informed
of
the
law
regarding
the
duties
and
powers
of
the
office
of
notary
public
in
my
jurisdiction
and
not
compromise
that
law.
So
you
are
accomplishing
that
that,
right
there
today
by
being
on
this
zoom
call
or
there
in
the
in
in
columbus,
you're
keeping
a
form
to
the
law
regarding
the
duties
and
powers
of
office
and
not
republic.
Now
I
will
say
this
in
90
minutes
or
less.
B
B
You
may
learn
information
during
a
notarization
that
will
benefit
you,
for
instance,
you're
not
to
use
that
information
as
a
means
of
financial
gain
for
yourself
to
exercise
extreme
care
to
ensure
that
the
notarial
seal,
stamping
records,
are
kept
in
a
safe
place
and
are
not
used
by
any
other
person.
B
And
if
you're
fortunate
enough
to
have
a
place
where
you
can
lock
it
away,
that's
even
better!
Maybe
you
have
an
office,
you
know
private
office
or,
if
you're
working
from
home.
Certainly
you
know
you
have
a
place
for
there
because
I'll
say
this.
B
There
is
no
good
that
can
come
from
someone
else
having
access
to
your
seal,
zero.
So
always
know
you
always
know
where
your
seal
is-
and
I
pointed
out
this
morning
not
the
first
time
this
happened.
But
it's
unusual
I
got
a
call
back
in
the
fall
from
a
clerk
superior
court
who
had
an
issue.
It
was
the
accusation.
B
B
That's
one
thing
and
then,
on
top
of
that
he
was
allegedly
I'll,
say
allegedly
then
signing
as
that
person.
So
that's
forgery
on
top
of
this,
so
she
just
wanted
to
run
some
things
behind
me.
But
now
her
real
question
was,
you
know:
did
the
notary
do
anything
wrong?
I
said
well
based
on
what
you
just
said.
I
wouldn't
say
the
notary
did
anything
illegal,
but
she
said
I'm
gonna
talk
to
her
and
impress
upon
her
that
you
know
by
the
fact
she
didn't
have
her
seal
secure
that
you
know
this
happened.
B
I
said
yeah
absolutely
and
I
think
that's
fair-
that
she
needs
to
do
a
better
job
of
keeping
that
seal
in
a
safe
place,
okay,
to
always
conduct
myself
and
perform
my
duties
in
a
manner
which
will
bring
credit
to
myself
an
office
of
notary
public.
You
may
not
realize
this,
but
you
know
when
you're
commissioned
as
another
republican
georgia,
you
rep
you're
representing
more
than
just
yourself,
and
you
can
just
look
at
the
seal
and
see
that
so
the
word
state
of
georgia
are
on
the
seals.
You
represent
georgia.
B
Maybe
more
importantly
in
in
daniel
maker,
is
if
your
commission,
for
instance,
in
muskogee
you're,
representing
muscovia
county
and
the
and
and
the
clerk's
superior
court's
office
that
commissioned
you.
So
I
think
it's
kind
of
it's
it's
it's!
It's
a
big
deal
to
certainly
conduct
yourself
in
a
way
that
brings
a
positive
manner
to
a
positiveness
to
the
clerk's
office
in
the
state
of
georgia
and
yourself,
okay,
okay,
so
trying
to
word
this
in
the
correct
way,
and
we
get
this
question
from
time
to
time.
B
You
know
why
are
documents
notarized?
What's
the
requirement
that
a
document
needs
to
be,
you
know
signed
by
someone
in
front
of
a
notary?
I
guess
the
a
better
way
to
ask
that
would
be
what
what
does
a
proper
notarization
prevent
and
the
answer
is.
Fraud
notarization
deters
fraud.
B
It
does
that
by
the
signer
proving
their
their
identity.
To
the
note,
that's
simply
what
it
is:
it's
not
about
the
contents
of
the
document,
it's
not
about
where
it
look
whatever
you
know
it's
about
the
signer
or
signers
proving
identity
to
the
notary,
and
I
highlighted
that
second
section
of
the
second
paragraph.
It
says:
notaries
create
a
trustworthy
environment
where
strangers
are
able
to
share
documents
with
full
confidence
in
their
authenticity.
B
They
want
that
document
signed
and
notarized
by
their
customer
in
front
of
someone
who
has
been
duly
vetted
to
do
that,
so
that
would
be
a
notary,
and
so
by
doing
that,
the
the
bank
receives
the
document
and
it
brings
some
trustworthiness
to
the
bank
to
know
that
their
their
customer
signed
that
document
in
front
of
a
notary.
They
had
to
prove
their
identity,
and
so
now
they
have
that
document
and
it
adds
trustworthiness
to
the
transaction.
That's
simply
what
that
is
now.
B
There
are
certain
documents
that
are
required
by
law
to
be
notarized,
for
instance,
a
lot
of
real
estate
type
documents,
but
a
great
majority
of
documents
in
a
day's
time
across
the
entire
country.
You
know,
are
not
documents
required
by
law
to
be
notorious.
It's
simply
that
the
receiving
party
has
determined.
B
Several
things
we'll
talk
about
today,
you
will
not
find
in
georgia
law.
Unfortunately,
the
state
of
georgia
has
not
updated
georgia
law
related
to
the
noted
process
in
its
entirety
in
decades.
B
So
one
of
the
things
that
that
are
considered
a
best
practice
or
is
conservative
best
practice
is
maintaining
a
notary
journal
strongly
recommend
you
do
that.
We
believe
it.
It
provides
protection
not
only
for
you
as
a
notary,
but
also
the
signers.
The
journal
captures
all
those
important
elements
of
the
notary
act.
B
Then
you
know
the
name
of
the
signer.
The
signer's
address
the
phone
number,
the
date
and
time
and
notarization
the
type
of
id
that
the
individual
presented
to
you
as
a
notary,
and
they
also
sign
your
notary.
Your
notary
journal,
so
they're
signing
the
document.
They're
also
signing
your
journal
and
I'm
going
to
show
you.
This
is
an
example.
B
B
I
have
a
pretty
good
memory.
I
promise
you,
I
do
not
remember
either.
One
of
these.
I
don't
remember
who
they
are.
I
don't
remember
what
the
individuals
look
like
if
I
ever
had
to
refer
back.
I
would
I
have
a
record
of
this
and
you
can
see
I've
got
their
name
and
addresses,
but
you
know,
and
then
you
can
see
in
the
upper
right
hand
corner.
These
are
two
separate
entries
on
the
same
day.
You
see
that
they,
so
they
I
they
signed.
B
B
You
can
find
these
in
many
places
you
can
search
online.
I've
seen
them
on
amazon
and
ebay.
You
can
go
into
you
know,
office
supply
places.
They
have
them
you
could,
since
georgia
doesn't
require
the
journal,
I
mean
you,
could
you
can
make
up
your
own?
You
know.
I've
had
a
lady
tell
me
that
she
simply
kept
a
spreadsheet
and
captured
all
these
different
elements.
So
whatever
you'd
like
to
do
again,
it's
not
required,
but
it
is
considered
best
practice.
B
So
on
our
on
our
our
website,
we
have
a
website,
it's
our
learning,
our
our
teaching
platform.
I
guess
we
call
it
elearn.gsccdfca.orgelearn.
B
And
we
have
a
notary
class
on
there
that
has
been
up
there
for
several
years.
It's
they're
simply
getting
information
out
of
people.
Much
like
this.
This
class
and
there's
also
an
exam.
So
the
next
little
segment
goes
through
some
true
false
fill
in
the
blank
type
questions
that
you
might
see
on
exam
and
kind
of
fun
to
see
you
know
what
you
may
or
may
not
learn
or
may
not
know
that
type
of
thing.
So
this
is
true
or
false.
B
George
notaries
may
only
perform
acts
within
the
fiscal
boundaries
of
the
state
of
georgia,
and
you
can
see
where
I
cite
that
that
code
section
in
the
law,
it's
title,
45
chapter
17,
section
9.,
you
can
see
this
yourself,
you
can
simply
google
georgia
code
lexisnexis.
B
It
has
a
free
search
tool
there
and
title
45
is
where
you
find
notary
law
anyway.
So,
regardless
of
where
your
commission
wants
your
commission
in
any
particular
county,
then
you
may
perform
acts
in
all
of
the
counties
of
georgia
have
159
counties.
So
once
you
want
your
commission
in
muskogee,
you
may
perform
acts
in
all
those
counties.
Obviously
you
have
to
have
your
seal
with
you
and
that
guy
yeah,
so,
but
not
outside
the
state
of
georgia.
B
You
have
no
authority
outside
the
state
of
georgia
as
a
georgia
notary
now,
sometimes
people
will
confuse
the
commissioning
part
with
where
they're
allowed
to
act
as
a
notary
or
not.
This
is
an
extreme
example,
but
I
I'll
use
it
and
I'll
say
this.
The
overriding
point
is
it
does
not
matter
where
the
document
may
have
originated
from
it
does
not
matter
where
the
signer
may
have
originated
from
the
signer
doesn't
have
to
be
from
georgia.
B
The
signer
doesn't
have
to
be
from
the
united
states
as
long
as
you
communicate
with
that
person,
and
this
is
this
extreme
example,
and
I
realize
it's
unlikely
it
would
happen,
but
let's
say
the
document
originated
in
california,
for
whatever
reason,
sometimes
most
of
the
time
you
don't
know
where
to
originate
from
you
really
don't
care,
but,
and
then
the
the
the
person
with
the
document
comes
into
your
place
of
business,
let's
say
in
columbus
and
they
are
from
the
country
represented
by
that
flag,
which
is
ireland
so
you're
there.
B
As
long
as
those
things
come
before
you
in
the
state
of
georgia,
the
person
from
ireland
brings
the
document.
They
still
have
to
provide
satisfactory
evidence
of
id
whatever
that
might
be,
it
could
be
a
passport,
it
could
be
an
irs
driver's
license,
you're
the
one
as
a
notary
that
determines
whether
it's
satisfactory
or
not
no
one
else,
and
so
then
you
would
perform
that
act.
B
Okay,
a
responsibility
of
the
notary
is
to
verify
the
validity
of
the
document.
Is
that
true
or
false
a
responsibility
of
the
notary
is
to
verify
the
validity
of
the
document?
Absolutely
not
you
don't
want.
I
don't
know
if
anyone
want
that
responsibility
again,
I
go
back
to
the
earlier
slide.
The
primary
function
is
to
prevent
and
deter
fraud
just
by
the
fact
that
you
are
notarizing
the
document
being
that
you're
imprinting
your
seal
and
you're
fixing
your
signature
does
not
validate
that
document.
B
Okay,
number:
three:
when
the
document
signer
is
not
physically
present,
the
notary
is
permitted
to
perform
in
a
tarot
act.
If
the
note
verifies
the
assigner's
identity
by
electronic
video
technology,
is
that
true
or
false?
It
is
under
current
georgia
law
that
is
false.
Now
some
of
you
may
have
heard
now
across
the
country.
B
States
are
adopting
laws
allowing
for
the
terror
act
to
be
conducted
remotely,
meaning
that
you
know
I
would
be
sitting
here
in
atlanta
I'd
go
online,
I
could
witness
you
signing
columbus
and
that
type
of
thing
there
is
with
the
with
the
the
pandemic
shutdown
in
march
of
2020..
B
The
governor
did
sign
executive
order
that
allows
for
those
such
acts
but
very
narrowly.
Those
acts
under
that
executive
order
that
allow
for
a
remote
notary
like
using
like
face
time
or
something
like
that
between
the
note
or
the
signer
has
to
be
supervised
by
georgia
license
attorney.
B
So
I'm
not
sure
how
many
of
those
are
happening,
I
think,
probably
more
in
the
real
estate
industry,
but
right
now
georgia
law
doesn't
allow
for
that.
Now
there
is
a
bill,
a
legislative
there's,
a
bill
in
our
in
our
legislature
and
they're
in
session
now,
of
course,
from
june,
until
probably
late
march,
to
early
april.
B
That
may
or
may
not
come
up
that
if
it
were
to
pass,
would
authorize
notaries
to
perform
these
remote
acts
about
40
states
already
either
have
this
in
place
and
they're
already
allowing
those
to
do
it
or
they
have
legislation.
That's
already
been
adopted
and
there's
a
future
beginning
date.
So
it's
going
to
come,
don't
know
when
it's
going
to
be
this
year
or
next
year
and
when
that
happens
certainly
we'll
build
we're
on
top
of
it
danielle's
office
on
top
of
it.
B
Number
four:
when
performing
a
notarial
act,
the
notaries
should
indicate
in
the
notorious
certificate
the
state
and
county
of
the
notary's
residence.
This
is
simply
referring
to
you
know
a
lot
of
times,
you'll
see
on
the
signature.
Page
it'll
say
yes,
count
state
of
georgia
county
blank
so
and
so
appear
before
me.
That's
called
a
certificate,
so
the
statement
here
is
when
you
perform
an
act
of
that
in
that
space
after
county
of
that,
should
state
that
your
county
of
presence
is
that
true
or
false
and
I'll
be
honest
with
you.
B
B
You
work
in
muskogee,
most
of
the
doterra
acts
you
perform
around
muskogee,
but
if
you're
a
person
that
you
know
lives
in
muskogee,
but
you
work
in
a
neighborhood
county,
then,
wherever
you
are
physically
at
that
point,
that's
what
you
put
in
there.
If
you
haven't
been
doing
that
you're,
not
you
didn't,
do
anything
wrong
or
need
to
go
back
and
change
stuff.
Just
I
suggest
from
this
point
forward,
just
it's
just
another
identifying
piece
of
that
notary
light.
That's
all
that
is
number
five.
B
A
person
may
act
as
the
notary
for
his
or
her
sister,
involving
a
power
of
attorney,
giving
him
or
her
the
notary,
the
authority
to
care
for
the
sisters
minor
child
again.
This
is
true
or
false.
A
person
may
act
as
a
notary
for
his
or
her
sister,
involving
a
power
of
attorney,
giving
him
or
her
the
authority
of
giving
him
her
the
notary,
the
authority
to
care
for
sisters.
B
My
child,
most
people
answer
this
correctly,
but
not
all
the
answer
correctly
and
oops
answer
for
the
right
reason,
and
I
well
I
I
went
ahead.
What
am
I
doing
here?
Sorry
about
that?
Let
me
go
back.
I
just
hit
the
button
too
fast.
It
is
false,
but
it
may
not
be
because
of
the
reason
it's
not
because
they're
related
georgia
law
is
silent
on
whether
you
it's
not
on
whether
it's
a
on
the
people
being
related
between
the
sign
and
the
notary.
B
So
it
is
allowable
that
you
notarize
for
a
family
member.
B
It's
recommended
that
you
avoid
that
if
you
can,
because
you
don't
want
to
add
any
shadow
of
doubt
to
a
transaction
just
because
you're
related
to
the
person,
but
in
this
case
it's
prohibited
law
by
law,
because
the
notary
is
a
party
to
the
doctrine
that
is,
that
is
clear
in
the
law,
and
I
cite
that
code
section
we'll
see
it
again
in
a
little
bit,
but
yet
so
the
reason
it's
false
is
because
the
notary
is
a
party
to
the
doc
number.
B
Six-
and
I
said
this
in
the
first
class-
I'll
always
hesitate
to
put
this
in
there
because
it
usually
generates
a
lot
of
comments,
but
maybe
not
today,
true
or
false
georgia
law
allows
notaries
to
charge
a
maximum
of
five
dollars
for
an
ontario
act.
Is
that
true
or
false?
B
It's
been
that
way,
for
I
don't
know
as
far
as
far
back
as
I
could
determine
when
I
go
back
and
look
at
the
law,
but
you
know
and
again
I've
heard
stories
where
people
have
been
overcharged
and
or
maybe
the
the
notary
is
charging
too
much.
You
know
the
person,
that's
in
the
class.
B
I
do.
I
do
believe
some
of
it
is
even
ignorance
of
the
law,
which
I
know
is
no
excuse,
but
you
know
if
you're
going
to
you
know,
become
a
notary
and
notarize
for
people
as
a
little
side.
Business
be
very
conscious
of
this.
Now
it
doesn't
mean
you
can't
you
know.
If
you're
gonna
travel,
you
can't
charge
a
travel
fee.
B
For
instance,
I
mean
you,
you
negotiate
that
outside
of
this
with
the
signer
you
know
whatever
it
is,
you
turn
to
be
worth
your
time
to
drive
somebody's
house
or
place
of
business,
but
that's
different
and
the
tarot
act
itself
is
is
is
two
dollars
for
no
terror.
B
And
I
agree:
I
mean
that
that's
ridiculously
low
I
mean
most
states
are
now
right.
I
know
california
allows,
I
think
it's
they
raised
it
last
year.
I
think
that
no
two
years
ago
I
think
the
15
per
notarial
act.
I
just
saw
a
proposed
bill
from
I
believe
it
was
connecticut
or
new
york
that
would
raise
the
allowable
fee
from
up
to
25
so
anyway,
but
that's
where
we
are
so
that's
where
it
is
right
now.
B
Number
seven,
a
notary
may
perform
a
notarial
act
for
someone
who
is
signing
by
mark
when
that
person
cannot
make,
what's
quote
unquote,
a
normal
signature
or
whatever.
That
is
I
well.
I
can
tell
you
normal
we're
thinking
more
of
like
a
traditional
cursive
signature.
So
is
it
true
or
false?
Another
may
perform
an
act
for
someone
who
doesn't
sign
by
you
know
a
simple
normal
signature.
Well,
that
certainly
is
true.
Honestly,
a
cursive
signature
is
a
mark
too.
B
It's
just
just
like.
If
you
made
an
x
or
you
know
print
it.
If
you
printed,
you
know,
there's
certain
you
know,
there's
certain
people
that,
and
I
think
we
were
coming
up
the
question
here.
We
were
thinking
of
maybe
someone
who's
not
physically
capable
of
cursive
writing
either.
They
they
can't,
you
know,
have
the
ability
to
hold
the
pen,
you
know
maybe
they've
had
an
injury
or
an
illness
or
whatever
it
might
be,
and
there
are
certain
people
that
that
never
learn
to
write
cursively.
B
I
know
schools
don't
emphasize
that
so
much
anymore,
whatever
it
might
be,
but
point
being
certainly
you
witness
them
apply
their
mark,
and
you
also
have
a
sample
of
that
in
your
journal.
If
you
keep
a
journal,
if
there's
a
if
there's
anything
unusual
people
might
find
news
about
that.
So
all
right
so
number
eight.
B
It
is
considered
a
best
practice
for
notaries
to
keep
copies
of
the
documents
they
notarize
in
order
to
protect
themselves.
In
the
event,
a
complaint
of
misconduct
is
filed
against
is
it?
Is
it
true
or
false
that
it
is
a
best
practice
to
keep
copies
of
documents
you
notarize
it
most
certainly
is
not
do
not
keep
copies
of
other
people's
documents.
B
I
think
if
the
people
are
doing
this
they're
doing
it
much
in
the
context
of
like
keeping
a
journal
they're
trying
to
keep
a
record
of
what
it
is
they've
done.
The
problem
with
that
is
twofold.
Is
I
don't
know
about
you,
but
I've
got
enough.
My
own
stuff,
I
don't
need
everybody
else's
jump
but,
more
importantly,
you
might
be
unknowingly
keeping
a
copy
of
a
document
that
is
going
to
place
a
lot
of
liability
on
you.
You
know
there
might
be
sensitive
financial
information,
a
document
there
might
be.
B
You
know,
health
information
about
someone
whatever
it
might
be,
and
then,
if
you
make
a
copy
and
keep
it
now,
you've
got
that
liability
now,
because
you've
got
that
in
your
records.
Just
do
not
make
copies
of
documents.
If
you
have
been
doing
that,
I
just
suggest
you
shred
that
stuff
and
get
rid
of
it
and
consider
keeping
a
journal
all
right.
So
those
of
you
that
are
not
currently
notaries,
I'm
going
to
quickly
go
through
the
qualifications
to
become
a
notary
and,
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
that.
B
You
must
have
the
time
of
application,
an
operating
telephone
number
people
smile
at
that,
but
when
that
was
put
in
the
law,
a
majority
people
majority
of
people
did
not
have
cell
phones,
and
so
it
was
just
a
ways
another
way
in
case
another
need
to
be
contacted
and
the
number
five
says
you
must
be
able
to
read
and
write
the
english
language.
B
So
once
you
complete
the
application
you
submit
to
the
clerk's
office,
what
happens
at
that
point?
Well,
I
like
to
point
out
in
this
section
you
see
the
top.
It
says
45-17-2.3.
B
And
then
b
says
the
clerk
of
superior
court
may
in
his
or
her
discretion,
so
all
discretion
as
to
whether
an
application
is
denied
or
approved
lies
with
the
clerk
of
superior
court.
We
my
office
rachel
and
I
we
have
zero
authority
and
we're
not
even
involved
in
the
application
process.
The
only
way
we're
remotely
involved
is
we
provide
the
mechanism
for
the
online
application
for
people
and
and
that's
it
and
actually
kind
of
like
that
way.
B
Even
though
the
word
authority
is
in
our
title,
we
have
zero
authority
when
it
comes
to
this,
and
so
what
is
it
that
the
clerk
can
consider
when,
when
looking
at
an
application?
Well,
the
first
one
says
the
criminal
history
of
the
applicant.
So
those
of
you
that
have
not
applied
yet
will
find
out
that
in
the
application
you're
required
to
list
any
criminal
conviction
you
may
have
had
in
the
past.
Now
I
realize
for
most
folks
it's
a
non-issue.
B
You
don't
have
any
convictions,
but
I
will
say
this
too
that
just
because
you
do
have
a
conviction
in
your
history,
in
your
history
or
a
criminal
conviction
of
history.
It's
not
necessarily
a
deal
break
with
a
clerk.
It
depends
on
what
the
offense
was.
It
depends
on
when
it
occurred.
What
have
you
done
since
then?
I
have
real
life
examples
where
you
know
a
clerk
has
real.
B
You
know
related
or
related
information
where
it
was
a
pretty
serious
criminal
conviction
the
person
had
and
yet
they
granted
they
granted
their
application
or
proved
it
because
you
know
the
the
offense
was
you
know
20
years
ago
this
person
has
changed
their
life
or
they
they've
had
a
great
track
record
since
that
point
of
whatever
might
be
again,
it
goes
back
to
discretion
of
each
individual
clerk's
superior
court.
I
will
say
this:
if
you
do
have
a
criminal
conviction
and
you
don't
list
it
and
then
the
clerk
finds
out.
B
I
know
what
happens
then.
You'll
have
your
commission
revoked
because
that
has
happened,
and
it's
pretty
serious,
because
at
the
end
of
that
application,
you're
signing
a
sworn
statement
as
to
the
truthfulness
of
the
information
you
put
in
the
application
number
two
says:
if
you've
ever
had
a
professional
license
of
any
kind
or
another
noted
commission
revoked
or
suspended
or
restricted
in
any
way
the
clerk's
office
or
the
clerk
can
consider
that
you
know.
B
I
think
georgia
has
about
37
or
38
professions
that
are
licensed,
and
you
know
everything
from
cosmetology
to
insurance
sales,
so
anything
like
that.
They
can
consider
those
things
if
you've
been
found
by
the
state
bar
of
georgia,
a
court
of
this
state
or
a
court
of
any
other
state
to
have
engaged
in
an
unauthorized
practice
of
law,
which
is
a
big
deal.
You
know,
you
might
imagine
you
know
lawyers
don't
like
those
of
us
who
are
not
lawyers
from
practicing
law.
B
I
get
that
so
anyway,
so
once
the
clerk
considers
all
those
you
know,
let's
say
that
that
your
your
application
is
denied.
You
do
have
some
recourse
and
and
item
c.
There
is
talking
about
that.
It
says
any
app
who's
denied.
B
You
know,
can
appeal
that
decision
before
the
clerk's
superior
court,
so
you're
going
to
go
back
and
appeal
this
to
the
person
who
just
denied
and
if
you
don't
like
that
decision,
you
can
request
a
non-jury
hearing
before
judge
of
which
I
I've
never
had
a
clerk.
Tell
me
this
that
it
ever
got
to
that
point,
but
you
do
have
that
available
if
you're
an
applicant
it's
denied.
B
B
And
this
is
straight
from
georgia
law
right
here,
as
I
put
in
quotes,
another
republic
shall
provide
a
seal
of
office.
You
hope
you'll
hear
people
that
will
interchangeably
use,
seal
and
stamp.
That's
fine
provide
a
seal
of
office
which
shall
have
first
impression
the
notary's
name,
meaning
that
the
name
in
which
you're
commissioned
the
words
no
republic,
the
name
of
the
state
and
the
county
of
his
or
her
residence.
B
I'm
sorry
account
of
his
or
her
appointment,
and
then
it
goes
on
to
say
the
embossment
of
material
certificates
by
the
notary
seal
shall
be
authorized
but
not
necessary,
and
the
use
of
a
rubber
or
other
type
stamps
shall
be
sufficient
for
printing,
notably
seal
there's
still
a
thought
out
there.
Old
school
and
I've
heard
this,
especially
from
people
that
are
not
notaries
receiving
the
documents.
B
That
will
you
know
if
that
notarization,
that
seal's,
not
embossed,
there's
not
that
raised
paper.
They
think
somehow
it's
not
legitimate,
that's
not
true!
It
can
be
either
one.
I
think.
Nowadays,
most
people
buy
the
rubbers,
the
rubber
stamp
seals
they're
a
little
bit
cheaper.
You
know
the
problem,
the
embosser
is
it's
not
inked,
so
to
make
it
show
up.
If
you
need
to
you,
have
to
darken
in
the
old
days
back.
B
You
know
we
had
typewriters,
you
people
had
carbon
paper
and
you
could
just
darken
that,
but
anyway,
some
of
you
on
this
call
probably
don't
know
what
carbon
paper
is.
That's
fine,
the
and
there's
a
note
at
the
bottom.
As
a
best
practice,
a
rubber
stamping
device
should
always
be
blue
or
blacky.
I
think
this
is
common
sense.
You
know,
I
don't
really
I
I
suppose
people
could
get
crazy
colors
they
want,
but
don't
do
that
just
blue
or
black
ink.
B
I
actually
I
have
black
for
mine
and
I
use
a
blue
pen
for
the
signatures,
but
one
other
thing.
I
want
to
point
out
in
this
next
slide
too.
This
is
the
only
place
in
law
that
speaks
to
companies
or
individuals
that
make
the
seals,
and
you
know
really
no
one
oversees
that.
B
So
it
really
falls
back
to
the
notary.
It
says
it
shall
be
unlawful
for
any
person
firm
or
corporation
to
supply,
a
notary
public
seal
to
any
person.
Unless
a
person
has
presented
the
duplicate
original,
other
certificate
commissioned
the
person
as
a
notary
public.
B
So
if
you
are
commissioned
and
now
you're
ready
to
buy
your
seal
and
whether
you're
walking
into
a
place
of
business
or
you
go
online
to
buy
it,
both
of
those
are
fine,
but
if
that
company
doesn't
ask
for
a
duplicate
of
the
certificate,
that's
a
big
old
red
flag
and
we've
had
you
know:
we've
gotten
word
back
that
there
there's
an
online.
I
don't
know
for
something-
probably
it's
probably
not
just
one
but
one
particular
company
through
amazon
selling,
notary
seals,
and
they
don't
ask
for
anybody.
B
They
don't
ask
you
to
upload
a
copy
of
your
certificate.
You
know
so
that
would
be
a
red
flag
for
me.
I
just
go
somewhere
else,
buy
it
and
then
in
the
last
it
says
it
shall
be
unlocked
for
any
person
to
order
or
obtain
another
public
seal
unless
this
person
is
commissioned.
So
therefore,
if
the
company's
not
asking
for
a
copy,
how
could
you
prove
you're
a
notary
right?
B
So
again,
that
is
really
for
protection
for
you
as
a
notary,
public,
okay,
so
quickly,
you
know,
there's
no
official
training
on
where
to
print
your
seal.
The
best
device
is
in
close
proximity
to
your
signature.
Now
I
will
say
sometimes
the
document
presented
to
you,
the
signature
page,
there's
not
a
lot
of
room
if
any
to
imprint
your
seal.
I've
had
those
and
you
really
try
to
avoid
printing
it
over
the
text
of
the
document.
B
If
you
really
have
an
issue,
we
have
what
you're
looking
at
is
a
template
of
of
a
signature
page
that
we
have
them
in
the
form
section
on
our
notaries,
in
our
notary
public
section
of
our
website
that
you
can
print,
you
would
attach
it
to
the
document,
and
this
would
become
your
signature
page
and
again
you
don't
have
to,
but
this
is
there
for
you
to
use.
B
So
that's
what
this
is
and
you
can
see
we
did
a
sample
rachel,
you
know
was
acted
as
a
notary
here,
and
you
know
it
is
to
the
top.
It
says
this
certificate's
attached
to
a
one-page
document.
I
didn't
finish
it
so
that
the
reason
that's
there
is
you'd
fill
that
out
in
case
the
signature
page
ever
became
detached
from
the
body
of
the
document.
So
that's
that,
but
anyway
they're
there
for
your
use.
If
you
need
them
all
right,
so
what
it
is,
what
is
it
that
notaries
are
allowed
to
do?
B
Well,
we
look
at
45-17-8
a
says:
notaries.
Public
shall
have
the
authority
to
witness
or
attest
signature
or
execution
of
deeds
and
other
written
instruments.
That
is
even
though
you
don't
think
of
it.
That
way,
I
don't
think
of
it
that
way,
but
I
mean
when
I'm
actually
doing
it,
but
that
is
a
great
great
majority
of
what
you
do.
You're
witnessing
or
testing
signature,
execution
of
deeds
or
other
writ
and
other
recognitions.
B
You
can
take
acknowledgements
you
can
administer
oaths.
Don't
worry
you
will
not
have
to.
You
know
come
come
up
what
the
oat
is.
It
will
be
obvious
and
evident
to
you
by
looking
at
the
signature
page
the
certificate
language,
what
it
is
you're
supposed
to
do.
You
can
witness
affidavits.
B
You
know
people
sign,
you
know
an
affidavit
in
front
of
you
or
take
verifications
on
up
on
an
oath.
You
can
do
that.
The
other
thing
you
can
do
you
can
make.
This
may
never
happen
for
you,
I
mean
it's
not
common,
but
I
mean
it
is
in
the
law.
You
can
make
certified
copies,
but
provided
the
document
presented
for
copy
is
an
original
and
it's
neither
a
public
record
nor
publicly
recorded
document.
Now.
What
is
a
public
record?
B
A
good
example
would
be
in
a
good
example,
would
be
in
your
like
danielle's
office,
for
instance,
all
real
estate
records.
All
real
estate
records
in
from
muscogee
county
are
filed
in
her
office.
Those
are
public
records.
So
if
someone
wanted
a
certified
copy
say
of
the
dean
of
their
property,
they
would
have
to
go
to
her
office
for
a
certified
copy
and
then
her
office
would
issue
that
under
the
seal
of
her
office,
not
as
a
notary
again
this
this
is.
C
C
While
you're
talking
about
powers
and
duties,
the
question
was
the
raise
regarding:
can
a
georgia
natori
become
a
signing
agent
which
I've
responded?
There's
no
such
thing
as
a
signing
agent,
but
if
you
don't
mind
expounding
on
it,
like
you
do
so
eloquently
I'd
appreciate
it.
B
B
Georgia
does
not
recognize
a
special
class
of
notary
called
a
signing
age.
A
notary
is
a
notary
is
no.
I
recognize
that
some
states
do.
California
is
a
bit
and
they
actually
they're,
like
national
association,
like
that
they
also
they
offer
training.
B
B
B
However,
notary
law
is
specific
to
each
individual
state,
so
georgia,
being
an
attorney-only
state,
does
not
allow
notaries
to
conduct
real
estate
closings
period,
and
that
has
been
affirmed
by
the
georgia
supreme
court
a
couple
of
times.
I
don't
say
this
because
I
mean
I
don't
have
a
personal
view
of
this.
B
It's
our
job,
just
to
tell
you
what
what
the
law
is
and
then
that
now
I'm
not
naive
enough
to
think
it
doesn't
happen.
I
promise
you,
it
happens.
What,
but
what
the
issue
might
be
down
the
road
is
that,
for
instance,
that
real
estate
document
of
that
transaction
is
ever
called
into
question
and
it
was
not
overseen
by
a
georgia
licensed
attorney.
B
Well,
I
don't
know
what
happens
then
I
mean
it.
Could
it
could
be
trouble
for
the
buyers
and
sellers,
so
it
could
be
trouble
for
the
notary,
so
yeah
just
don't
do
it
now,
that's
related
to
real
estate.
Now
there
are
other
types,
and
I
realize
the
signing
agent
is
something
in
states
that
people
can
make
money
from.
B
I
understand
I
underst
I,
and
I
have
no
doubt
that
that's
why
in
the
last
year
we
have
seen
the
number
of
people
attending
these
classes
grow
exponentially
and
and
well
I'll
say
that
there's
that
and
one
of
the
silver
linings-
and
I
believe
you
know
certainly
of
you-
know
the
pandemic
shutdown
was
when
we
had
to
adapt
and
start
offering
these
online.
It
also
makes
these
classes
more
readily
available,
so
you
can
sit
in
your
home
or
office
and
not
have
to
get
in
your
car
and
drive
to
whatever.
B
I
know,
that's
part
of
it
too.
I
just
I
say
all
this
because
I
want
you
all
to
be
careful,
I
don't
invite
you
get
in
trouble
and
and
so
again,
when
you're
looking
at
resources
for
information
about
how
to
be
another
in
georgia,
be
careful
about
where
the
information
is
coming
from
honestly
contact,
the
clerk's
office
or
contact
us,
and
I'm
not
saying
we
have
all
the
answers,
but
we
can
figure
it
out
and
we
got
people
that
we
can.
We
can
talk
to.
B
So
I
hope
that
answered
that
question
about
the
signing
agent.
Anything
else
right
or
related
to
that.
B
Okay,
no
worries,
so
we
talked
about
what
the
notary's
authority
powers
to
you
know
what
they
can
do
this
next
slide.
As
you
can
see
by
the
yellow
or
amber
light,
I
guess
is
officially
the
traffic
light.
Color
is
where
you
should
exercise
caution.
B
B,
talk
says:
no
notary
shall
be
obligated
right.
No
one
can
demand
that
you
perform
an
entire
life.
Well,
they
can
demand.
But
you
put,
I
can't
imagine
people,
you
know
yeah
no
nobody's
gonna
make
me
do
that,
but
it
goes
on
talk
about
under
what
circumstances
you
know.
Well,
you
have
to
consider
where
you
would
not
be
obligated
number
one
says
for
a
transaction
which
the
notary
knows
or
suspects
is
the
illegal
faults
of
deceptive.
B
If
you
know
that
it's
the
illegal
false
deceptive,
certainly
you
would
not
move
forward
with
being
performing
that
in
a
tarot
act.
Number
two
says
for
a
person
who
is
being
coerced,
so
the
examples
that
that
I
have
been
there
have
been
related
to
me
over
the
years
by
coercion.
B
Typically,
it's
not
between
strangers.
It's
between
family
members,
sadly
not
either
one's
good
but
and
the
classic
one
was
where
there
was
an
older
person
in
the
family.
You
know
grandmother
whatever
at
that
age
I
said
so
that
is,
people
can
be
grandmothers
in
their
40s,
but
you
know
what
I'm
saying
like
elderly
person
in
the
family
who
has
through
their
life,
you
know
they've
attained
certain
assets
and
I'm
telling
I'm
keep
I'll
keep
this
very
generic,
because
this
is
a
true
story.
Their
adult
gr,
two
two
adult
grandchildren.
B
B
One
went
to
jail,
I
know
that,
but
and
because
they
had.
Fortunately,
there
was
a
a
local
bank
officer
in
the
bank
who
was
suspicious
and
started
asking
questions
and
they
got
caught,
but
that's
that's
a
kind
of
extreme
example
of
coercion.
B
I
don't
know
why
that
notary.
Well,
I
do
know
the
notary.
The
note
didn't
asking
questions
because
they
they're
family
friends,
so
she
was
in
trouble
too,
but
anyway,
number
three
says
for
a
person
whose
demeanor
causes
compelling
doubts
about
what
the
person
knows
the
consequences
of
the
transaction.
So
you
know
I
assume
you're
going
to
have
some
general
conversation
with
the
signer
right
and
through
those
conversations
you
determine
what
their
demeanor
is.
I
mean
you
might
think
or
might
believe
they're
under
the
influence
of
drugs
or
alcohol.
B
B
Then
there
are
two
specific
instances
where
notary
is
disqualified
from
acting
and
they
got
the
big
flashing
red
light.
There
notice
that
c
talks
about
disqualified
from
performing
an
act
in
the
following
situations:
number
one.
When
now
you
may
smile
at
this
right,
but
when
the.
A
B
Is
a
signer
of
the
document
which
is
to
be
notarized?
What's
that
saying
right,
it's
saying
you
can't
notarize
your
own
signature,
because
quite
honestly,
if
you
could
do
that,
while
we
need
notaries,
we
wouldn't
need
notaries
right.
So
I
believe
I
promise
you
it
happens
and
you're
through
ignorance,
the
law
or
just
not
caring
or
whatever
the
second
one
is.
B
We
touched
on
this
in
the
the
little
exam
exercise
we
had
when
the
notary
is
a
party
for
the
document
or
transaction
with
the
notarial
acts
required
again,
a
person
cannot
be
a
party
to
the
document
and
also
the
notary.
B
If
that's
the
case,
if
your
party's
the
document
just
go,
find
a
third
person
to
be
a
notary
or
a
second
person,
I.
C
B
A
notary
public,
sound
d
really
needs
no
explanation,
and,
and
wherever
you
see
the
word
shall
there's
no
gray
area
in
the
law.
No
republic
shall
not
execute
a
doterra
certificate
containing
a
statement
known
by
the
notre
dame
defaults,
nor
perform
any
action
with
intent
and
disabled
fraud
and
then
item
e
there.
So
you
heard
me
a
few
times
use
the
term
satisfactory
evidence,
and
I
didn't
use
that
because
I
you
know
like
the
way
it
sounded.
B
B
B
Okay,
if
I
won't,
I'm
not
gonna,
read
all
that,
but
it
it
it's
speaking
to
the
fact
that,
just
because,
as
a
notary,
you're
fixing
your
signature
and
seal,
it's
not
evidence
that
you
have
knowledge
of
the
contents
of
the
document
or
that
you're
validating
the
contents
of
the
document.
Anything
like
that,
so,
thankfully,
that
isn't
the
law,
45-17
8.1
speaks
the
signature,
signature
and
date
of
the
act.
A
noted
republic
shall
sign
on
the
hotel,
certification
by
hand
and
ink
by
hand
in
ink
not
pencil,
not
any
other.
B
You
know
whatever
it's
ink
and
I've
had
before
someone
will
debate
the
definition
of
heat.
I'm
like
I
really
don't
know
what
to
do
with
that,
but
anyway,
by
handing
only
and
exactly
the
name
indicated
on
the
notice
commission
only
and
exactly
the
name
indicated
on
the
notaries
commission.
So,
however,
it
is
your
commission,
you
know
full
first
name
middle
last
or
full
first
mill
initial
like
what
last
then
that's
the
way
you
sign
every
single
time
right.
So
technically,
let's
in
my
case
I'm
commissioned
with
my
middle
initial.
B
If
I
got
in
a
hurry
for
whatever
reason,
I
forgot
and
just
signed
first
name
last
name
technically,
that's
not
correct!
That
is
not
only
an
exact
name
indicated,
and
I
do
have
examples
where
the
receiving
party,
especially
if
it's
a
fish
capacity
of
some
you
know
company,
they
will
question
the
notary,
because
signature
does
not
match
exactly
the
name
on
the
seal
as
commissioned
okay
and
also
then
says,
shall
record
the
exact
date
of
the
material,
as
he
used
to
tell
you
in
school
date.
B
Your
work
all
right
speaking
of
signatures,
and-
and
I
just
I
can't
emphasize
this
enough-
how
important
the
signature
is,
because
there's
two
things
that
you
add
to
the
document,
the
seal
and
signature.
Well,
the
seal
doesn't
really
make
you
unique,
because
anyone-
hopefully
not
anyone-
can
have
access
to
your
seal.
B
B
It
continues
when
you
sign
those
certificates
that
the
clerk's
office
ask
you
to
sign
you,
you
get
two
copies,
they
keep
a
copy,
and
certainly
every
time
you
sign
performing
an
act.
I
realize
sometimes
you
might
be
at
work.
You're
busy,
a
co-worker
needs
something
notarized
and
you're
trying
to
do
19
different
things
at
one
time,
slow
down.
Take
your
time.
B
B
Right,
I
understand
a
signature
is
a
very
personal
thing.
We
you
know,
we
we
like
the
way
the
curves
work
whatever,
but
I
just
encourage
you
to
take
your
time
every
time
that
you
sign
as
a
notary
is
to
your
advantage.
Okay,
I
love
to
show
this
mainly
because
some
of
you
may
not
know
who
this
is
younger
folks,
but
james
brown,
godfather
soul,
but
really
the
and
I
love
that
smile.
But
the
reason
I
put
up-
here's
question
at
the
top
says:
must
I
be
presented
by
sign
or
be
unexpired?
B
B
I
think
most
people
assume
it
must
be
unexpired,
but
the
law
doesn't
say
that.
So
I
can't
tell
you
that
I
put
this
as
an
example.
So
let's
assume,
let's
look
at
this.
You
know
and
assume
that
we
don't
know
who
this
is,
but
that
you
know
he
he
turned
70
in
2000,
so
he
was
born
in
2003
and
he
got
his
license
renewed
at
70.,
and
we
know
in
georgia.
Our
driver's
licenses
are
effective
for
eight
years,
so
in
those
subsequent
eight
years
he
stopped
driving.
B
Maybe
his
eyesight
wasn't
great
as
good
as
it
used
to
be
whatever.
So
when
he's
approaching
his
78th
birthday,
he
says:
well,
I'm
not.
C
C
B
B
B
It
would
be
nice
for
those
of
us
who
are
notarious
if
the
georgia
law
that,
if
they
would
just
give
us
a
guidance,
I'm
either
way.
I
don't
it
doesn't
matter
to
me,
but
right
now
again,
I
know
that's
an
extreme
example.
You
may
never
be
faced
with
this.
It
does
happen
some
from
time
to
time
so
anyway
that
that's
there
I
want
to
make.
The
point
really,
though,
is
the
georgia
law
is
silent
on
this.
This
issue.
B
Okay,
another
scenario
you
may
be
faced
with
that's
not
every
day
is:
if
you
have
a
document,
that's
required
to
be
signed
by
more
than
one
person,
multiple
people,
five,
eight,
you
know
ten
people,
it
doesn't
matter.
Don't
let
that
throw
you
off
because,
even
though
each
person
is
going
to
sign
say
on
one
sheet
of
paper,
for
instance,
those
are
all
individual
material
acts.
B
So
if
the
signature
page
is
is
laid
out
correctly,
then
you
are
going
to
witness
each
sign
or
individually
signed
you're
going
to
sign
each
time
and
then
you're
going
to
fix
your
seal
each
time
right.
So
you
know,
if
you
have
five
signers,
that's
five!
No
teralats!
Hey!
B
If
you
charge
a
fifth
ten
bucks,
I
mean
don't
get
rich,
but
you
know,
but
you
know
so
that's
an
example
that
you
might
have
a
case
where
the
the
document
is
required
to
be
signed
by
multiple
people,
but
all
of
them
don't
appear
before
you,
for
whatever
reason,
maybe
the
other
people
are
a
different
office
in
a
different
city
or
wherever
it
that's.
B
Okay,
because,
if
you're
going
to
keep
the
another
reason
to
keep,
the
journal
is,
if
you
have
a
question
about
that,
you
can
say
I
don't
know
about
these
other
folks,
but
I
do
know
that
these
two,
for
instance,
of
those
five-
they
were
here
this
that
on
this
day
and
I
witnessed
them
signed-
and
I
have
a
record
of
it
right
here
in
my
journal.
Okay
point
me:
don't
let
that
throw
you
off
if
it's
multiple,
multiple
signers
again
another
reason
to
keep
the
journal?
B
B
You
notify
the
commissioning
clerk's
office
and
our
office
okay.
Now,
if
that
change
of
residence
takes
you
outside
of
the
county
of
which
your
commission,
that's
okay,
you
still
notify
the
clerk
and
superior
court
of
the
county.
What's
your
commission,
you
remain
a
notary
of
that
county
until
the
end
of
that
four
year
period
and
then,
if
you
want
to
remain
another,
then
you
would
just
supply
in
the
county
where
you
lived
in
okay,
but
within
30
days,
notify
the
clerk's
office
and
copy
to
us
of
that
address
change
for
a
name
change!
B
There's
an
extra
step
here.
You
do
know
to
find
writing
the
clerk
superior
court
or
your
commission
and
us,
but
that
also
the
name.
Change
also
requires
you
to
obtain
an
amended
commission
certificate
with
the
new
name,
so
that
you
then
can
take
that
certificate
present
it
to
the
seal
maker
to
get
a
new
seal
mate,
so
that
will
require
you
to
go
to
the
clerk's
office
and
obtain
that
amended
certificate
with
the
new
name
and
then,
once
you
notify
of
the
name
change
destroy
that
current
seal.
B
So
yes,
you'll
have
a
gap
where
you,
you
won't
have
a
seal
between
the
time
you
notify
of
the
name
change
and
the
time
you
get
the
new
seal
in
your
hand,
you
know
unless
they
make
the
same
day.
I
don't
know.
I
doubt
that
but
and
that's
okay,
so
within
30
days
of
the
name,
change
copy,
the
clerk's
peer
court
copy
to
us
and
then
you'll
obtain
the
commit
administ,
amended
commission
certificate,
which
then
you
present
to
the
seal
maker
to
have
the
new
seal
made.
B
B
If
your
seal
shows
up
on
a
document,
that's
dated
after
the
fact
after
you
notified
or
lost
your
total
seal,
then
we
know
it
must
have
been
stolen
because
it
showed
up
on
a
document
after
the
fact.
So
within
10
days
you
do
a
notify.
There
is
one
extra
step
you
can
take,
it's
not
required,
but
it
does
add
a
little
stronger
line
of
demarcation
between
before
having
the
sale
and
after
and-
and
this
is
the
and
it
is
this-
you
could
also
do
a
name
variation
or
a
name
change
again.
B
I
have
to
like,
in
my
case,
as
I
told
you,
I'm
commissioned
with
my
middle
initial.
So
if
I
have
my
still
lobster
stolen,
I
could
also
do
change
my
name
to
where
I
would
then
be
commissioned
with
my
full
middle.
I
mean
yeah,
my
full
first
middle
and
last
don't
have
to,
but
I
could
do
that,
but
certainly
within
10
days
of
discovering
that
let
the
clerk
know-
and
let
us
know
in
writing.
B
Okay,
I
mentioned
before,
and
we
saw
that
the
the
true
false
fill
in
the
blank
exercise-
and
I
mentioned
some
of
you-
may
have
seen
this.
Some
of
you
may
have
not
elearn
is
our
learning
portal
or
learning
running
platform.
You
simply
go
to
elearn.gscca.org
and
you
register
there's
no
fee
to
register
the
course
is
free.
Just
like
today
there
is
an
exam
that
you
can
take
for
ten
dollars.
Some
clerks
of
superior
court
are
beginning
to
mandate
the
successful
completion
of
that
exam
before
they
grant
a
commission.
B
B
That
means
you
must
successfully
answer
27
from
that
is
correct,
and
then,
if
you
do
that
you,
the
system
will
allow
you
to
print
this
nice
little
certificate.
That
says
you
passed
it.
Here's
your
passing
score
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
Again
register
on
elearn
course
is
free.
B
If
you
want
to
take
the
exam
you
can-
and
we
give
you
two
tries
of
that,
but
we
have
had
times
where,
for
whatever
a
technical
reason
someone
got
kicked
out
or
they
lost
their
wi-fi
connection
in
the
middle,
take
an
exam
or
whatever
they
didn't
really
so
that
you
know
just
call
us
call
our
help
desk
and
we
can
reset
that
you
know
we're
not
hardcore
about
that.
We'll
give
another
try
so,
but
it's
there
for
your
benefit.
I
think.
Okay,
this
is
our
home
page.
B
Some
of
you
may
have
seen
this
bottom
right.
You
say
notary
and
apistes.
So
that's
what
you
click
on
and
then
the
next
page
reveals
the
general
information,
the
application
form
and
georgia
notary
law
and
within
this
you'll,
see
those
a
form
section
that
I've
mentioned
a
few
times.
It's
there
for
you
to
use.
So
I
just
want
to
highlight
a
few
things
we
talked
about
today
and
then
we'll
have
some
time
for
questions
or
whatever
comments,
and
then
I
know
danielle
has
some
closing
remarks
as
well.
B
The
signer
must
always
be
present
now.
I
know
as
we
move
forward
with
technology,
the
definition
of
presence
will
expand,
but
the
signer
must
always
be
present
recommended
that
government-issued
id
with
photo
only
be
accepted
for
proof
of
identity.
B
You
know,
obviously,
as
we
said,
the
most
common
being
drivers
license
task
force,
military
ids.
You
know
school
systems
now
have
you
know,
photo
ids
for
employees.
It
could
be
a
hospital,
it
could
be.
You
know
any
other
type
of
you
know
university
schools
again,
you're
the
one
that
determines
if
that
idea
is
satisfactory.
B
Georgia,
notaries
may
notarize
in
all
of
the
159
counties
of
georgia,
which
is
the
fiscal
boundaries,
as
it
says
so,
once
you're
commissioned
in
any
particular
county,
you
may
exercise
ontario
acts
in
all
of
the
counties
you're
commissioned
by
the
clerk's
spirit
court
or
the
county
in
which
you
reside
always
always
always
always,
let's
say
change
the
law
down
the
road.
It's
always
where
you
reside.
B
I
realize
some
some
of
you
may
spend
as
many
hours,
maybe
working
in
a
neighboring
county
and
you
spend
as
many
hours
as
there
as
you
do
at
home,
but
that's
fine,
but
you're
always
commissioned
in
your
county
of
residence.
The
commission
is
effective
for
four
years.
The
cost
for
the
commission
varies
from
county
county
typically
falls
within
47
to
52
dollars
for
that
four
year
period,
so
check
with
your
local
clerk
superior
court
about
the
cost
it's
more
than
likely
on
the
web
on
their
website
as
well,
and
then
yeah.
B
I
will
pass
this
along.
We
are
we're
one
of
the
least
expensive
states
in
the
country.
As
far
as
that
goes.
