Protect yourself, your library, and the patron with a half-day workshop designed exclusively for library staff who already have their notary commission as well as those who are interested in obtaining a commission. Ohio notaries can sometimes face uncomfortable situations that could result in errors and potential liability for themselves as well as their libraries.

This workshop will answer many important questions, such as:

• Can I notarize if a document is written in a foreign language?
• When must I administer an oath to a signer?
• What is a “loose certificate” and how/when is it used?
• Do I add a state/county venue to my certificate if none appears?
• How do I handle an Ohio vehicle title transfer?
• How do I perform a copy certification request?

Learning Objectives:

• Gain a better understanding of the essential elements for Ohio notarization
• Learn how to stay away from trouble, and when you need to say “No”
• Feel more comfortable with complex and unusual signing situations (such as vehicle titles, powers of attorney, advanced directives, etc.)
• View examples of improper documents and learn what to watch for

About the presenter:
