Can State of XYZ Still Be Signed By A Notary Out Of The Named State
No. Some states require completion of an approved notary education course and passing a state-administered exam for the given state. Notary publics can only notarize documents from another state when the notarial act is conducted within the geographical boundaries of the notary's state of commission. In short, if one lives in Florida then the notary cannot notarize a document for the State of California.
