Capturing A Fingerprint

May 26, 2009

Requesting a fingerprint is one of the Notary’s best defenses against forgers and impostors. No impostor or wrongdoer wants to leave behind irrefutable evidence of nefarious activities.

Such a person might become agitated and angry if asked to leave a thumbprint, asserting that it’s an invasion of privacy. Of course, such a person also might “suddenly remember” an urgent errand elsewhere and leave so fast it will make your journal pages flip.

This is exactly why the National Notary Association recommends that Notaries complete the journal entry fully before applying their seal and signature to the document.

Do remember though, in every state except California and Illinois, the Notary is only authorized to ask the signer give a print willingly. But the request alone might be enough to smoke out those who are up to no good.
