My notary stamp arrived today. I’m officially in business and can now stop pestering the other admins around the office when Mr. BIL needs something notarized. I just need to practice my swearing in (I have my first notary session this afternoon when a client comes in to sign his wills).
“Do you swear or affirm that the information contained in these documents you are about to sign are true to the best of your knowledge and belief?”
Sure, I can spit that out without practicing, right?
Update at 5:16 p.m.: Well I managed to get that sentence out without sputtering or forgetting it, but when I was doing the notary I almost forgot to stamp the first document! The assistant sitting next to me saw me closing the document after filling out all my info, and quickly whispered, “You need to stamp it!” which made me started laughing. Fortunately our client has a good sense of humor and laughed as well.
