In this episode you will learn:

- The 'venue' on a notarial certificate must state the Arizona county where the notarization physically occurs, not the signer's county of residence.

- Never backdate or post-date a notarization; the date must always be the day the signer personally appeared before you.

- Your notary seal must be placed clearly and legibly, without obscuring any text, and must contain specific elements required by Arizona law.

- Always sign the certificate with the exact name that appears on your official notary commission, without any variations or nicknames.

- Correct errors on a certificate by striking through with a single line, writing the correction, and adding your initials and the date.
