Notarization isn’t just for formal contractual transactions: there are many situations that call for notary services.
Whether it’s for business or personal use, the chances are that you’ll eventually need a document notarized in Connecticut.
Notarization is a simple yet effective way to prevent fraud and ensure that all signing parties agree with what’s stated on the paper. This holds true for a bill of sale, an affidavit, a will, or any other official document.
Important legal documents like these require a notary public’s signature. Without an official signature and notarial stamp, these papers won’t be seen as valid in the eyes of the law.
So if you need a document to be notarized, you need a notary public.
A notary public officer is an official public servant whose job is to identify the signatories, witness your signature, and ensure that all parties understand what they’re signing.
Once everything is verified, the notary will perform the legal action of stamping these documents to finalize and confirm their validity.
Keep in mind that notaries are not equipped to give legal advice. They’re there to verify signers’ identities and officiate legal documents so that the government can accept them as legitimate.
In Connecticut, you’ll need a notary for two notarial acts:
- Acknowledgments: Acknowledgments are likely the most common notarization act most people will encounter in their personal and business lives. Unlike a jurat, acknowledgments don’t ask signers to confirm the validity of the document’s content. Instead, they are used to identify the signer and ensure that they sign the document willingly. The signer must appear in person and provide a proper photo ID.
- Jurats: A jurat is when a signer swears to the contents of a document, such as an affidavit. It is a written form of going under oath, much like you would in a courtroom. So not only must the notary verify the signer’s identity, but the signer must also confirm the truthfulness of the document they’re signing. The signer must appear in person and provide a proper photo ID.
When you need a notary for these actions, you can usually set an appointment with one in government offices like the county clerk’s office, in financial buildings like the bank, or in shipping stores like UPS or USPS.
However, these on-hand notaries aren’t always available when you need them. Depending on their availability, you might need to set an appointment weeks in advance, making finding a notary feel like a daunting task.
And working with a notary’s schedule can be complicated, especially in one of the most densely-populated states in the country where demand for services is high.
But with Superior Notary Services, a Connecticut notary public will come to you on your schedule. All of our notaries are trained, vetted, and verified, ensuring your experience will be 100% hassle-free.
What You Need to Know about Connecticut Notaries
Before an individual can become a notary public in Connecticut, they must first apply and take the notary exam.
This exam tests their understanding of the material in the Notary Public Manual. It also contains a jurat and writing sample and a Certificate of Character, which a public official or reputable professional or business person must fill out.
If they pass the exam, they will pay a licensing fee, register for an eLicense online, and officially apply through the state website. Once everything is in order, notaries public are formally appointed by the Secretary of State for a term of five years.
At Superior Notary Services, our Connecticut mobile notaries are well-versed in local state laws, so you can trust them to provide efficient, accurate, and quality services for any notarization act.
Connecticut Notary Facts
- The first notary public in America was Thomas Full, a member of Connecticut’s New Haven colony. He became a notary in 1639.
- In 1800, there were 15 notaries in Connecticut. Today, there are around 47,000.
- Any individual over 18 years old who resides in or owns a business in Connecticut may apply to become a notary public.
- Notaries public may perform their duties anywhere within the state. So, for example, they may travel to the Southeastern district without issue, even if they were appointed in the Hartford district.
- Under § 3-94f of the General Statutes, a notary may not “unreasonably refuse to perform notarial acts in a lawful transaction for any person who tenders payment of a statutory fee.” However, the office has not defined the term “unreasonable,” so the State recommends only refusing to notarize if the notary seriously questions the identity or competence of the signer.
- Connecticut requires that signers present two forms of identification that contain their signature and a photograph or at least a physical description.
- Notaries must remain impartial and cannot advise or influence a person.
- Notaries in Connecticut are not required to keep notary journals of their acts, but the Office of the Secretary of the State recommends that they do so regardless.
- Connecticut notaries cannot certify any documents, but they may execute an attestation certifying that a copy is true and accurate (§ 4.11).
- Unlike in many other states, Connecticut notaries are not required to take out an insurance bond. Without a bond, they are directly liable for any damages that result from misconduct. Even though it’s not required, it’s highly recommended that notaries purchase a notary bond anyway.
Connecticut In-Office Notary Fees
Although some states don’t enforce a particular law that says notaries must charge a minimum amount for their notarial acts, Connecticut has a set fee of $5.00 per notarial act (acknowledgment, jurat, verbal oath, or affirmation), plus an additional $0.35 for each mile traveled.
Connecticut notaries for in-office notarizations are not permitted to charge more than $5.00 per act.
Connecticut Notary Public Duties
Since notaries public are state officials and public servants, they must follow particular protocols, tasks, and duties when executing these legal documents.
In Connecticut, the responsibilities of a notary include (but are not limited to):
- Power to administer oaths, take acknowledgments, take depositions, and issue subpoenas
- Identify potential fraud by affirming the signers’ identities with signed and photographed government-issued IDs
- Affirming the state of mind of the participating parties and determining the willingness of each party to sign without duress, coercion, or intimidation
- Complete notarial stamps or certificates on all notarial and verifiable documents
- Bear witness to documents or items in a safety deposit box
- Execute an attestation certifying copies of documents are true and accurate
Although the actual process of getting a document notarized is usually straightforward, it is a legally-binding act that is taken very seriously by the law and government officials.
That’s why all parties need to take precautions and steps before, during, and after signing. These steps are essential when handling sensitive documents, like health proxies or testimonials for court.
Some of the most common documents that a notary may notarize include:
- Trusts
- Deeds
- Wills
- Medical documents
- Powers of attorney
- Agreements over a long distance
- Mortgage closing documents
- Designations of beneficiaries
- Affidavits or testimonies
- Real estate documents
- Structured settlements
- Supporting documents for disability claims
- Corporation documents
- Loan forms and signings
