2008 California Notary Law Changes - update

Notaryclasses.com has posted the following documents that appear to be in compliance with the recent updates to California Notary Law. What wonderful folks.

These documents are:

• 2008 California Notary Acknowledgment
• 2008 California Notary Jurat
  
  They both have removed the "personal knowledge" statement and added "under penalty of perjury" to the acknowledgment.
  
  The Secretary of State's office indicated, in a phone call, they will also be posting acceptable forms of these documents on their website mid December.

Mobile Notary Service During the Holidays

During this holiday season, we will be available for your notary needs. Many mobile notaries charge additional holiday rates. This can range up to $200 or more.

We don't.

The bottom line is if that we are available when you need us, you will pay our regular mobile notary rates.

We understand that frequently families are together for the holidays. This means that, frequently, trusts, powers of attorney, deeds, advance health care directives, etc., need updating and older relatives may have difficulty getting around.

For this reason, our holiday gift to you is our availability and understanding. So, if we are not bogged in egg nogg or in a tussle at the clearance counter, we will be where you need us, when you need us. A homebaked holiday cookie tip will be appreciated :-)

Mobile Notary rates in our immediate area are $20 for travel and $10 per signature.

Happy Holidays!
