‼️ We are currently seeing an uptick on improper true copies made of notarized documents and improperly notarized titles and documents made for the purpose of titling movables!! 🚗🚙🚌

🚫 Notaries cannot notarize as a true copy: any court document or another notary’s executed document. Only the clerk of court can true copy a court document and only the same notary can notarize a true copy of their own executed documents.

🚫 Notaries must not stamp over signatures, whether affiant, buyer, seller, notary, or any pertinent information needed on the title or affidavit.

We cannot accept any of these for a title transfer. We do apologize for the inconvenience. Please call our office or bring your paperwork by for any questions. Our mission is to help you!! ✍️
