Law enforcement officials nationwide rely upon Notary journal records when investigating mortgage fraud, as they often provide key evidence. The value of that evidence was underscored last month when two California men were sentenced to life in prison for running an elaborate murder and real estate fraud scheme — a scheme that unraveled due to a thumbprint recorded in a Notary’s journal.
Prominent San Francisco attorney David Replogle and co-conspirator Miguel Bustamante were sentenced this May for the 2008 murder of Cliff Lambert, a wealthy Palm Springs resident whom they killed as part of a plot to steal and resell his home and other assets. Two other accused co-conspirators still await trial in the case.
As part of the fraudulent real estate transaction, Replogle allegedly signed a Notary’s journal posing as Lambert and providing a thumbprint, as required by California law. According to police, Replogle later returned to the Notary’s office to steal the journal in a failed attempt to cover his tracks. The journal entry became the key evidence that led police to Replogle and his co-conspirators.
California and Illinois are the only states that require Notaries to record signers’ thumbprints for real estate-related transactions — a practice that helps prevent imposture. However, as noted in the NNA’s Recommended Notary Practices, every Notary should ask their signers to provide a thumbprint for the official journal record, even if it’s not required by state law.

The federal government has announced an unprecedented, multi-agency, nationwide initiative targeting immigration assistance scams and the unauthorized practice of law — often involving individuals falsely holding themselves out as Notarios Publicos.
The campaign is the most significant, coordinated effort at combating Notario abuse in U.S. history. While many states have enacted laws and launched local initiatives to fight Notarios, federal agencies have never pooled their resources on this scale. The campaign sends a strong message that individuals portraying themselves as Notarios are much more likely to be confronted with government action.
In Hispanic countries, Notarios Publico are highly trained legal professionals akin to attorneys who provide legal advice and draft legal documents. In the United States, however, Notaries are state-commissioned officials with narrow witnessing duties and much less discretion. Many unethical individuals exploit the confusion over these different roles to take advantage of unsuspecting immigrants.
For four decades, the National Notary Association has worked to educate Notaries, government officials and the general public about Notario abuse. One of the most important resources is a brochure entitled “What Is A Notary Public”, which explains in English and Spanish the lawful role of U.S. Notaries and how it differs from that of Notarios. Other resources include articles and best practices that advise Notaries not draft documents, give legal advice, or provide assistance in any way that could cross the line into the unauthorized practice of law.
The federal campaign will involve a plethora of agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission and incorporate new and expanded education programs to provide legitimate, low-cost assistance to help immigrants and combat the unauthorized practice of law.
As part of the federal campaign, law enforcement agencies such as the FBI and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement are already investigating dozens of cases against Notarios. The FTC’s consumer Web site has been modified to accept complaints of immigration assistance scams. And a number of state Attorney’s General have announced similar actions in conjunction with the federal campaign.
Many of the cases include charges that the defendants deceptively advertised themselves as a Notario. A number of states in recent years have enacted laws banning or strictly regulating the use of Notario in advertisements. Even in states that do not ban the practice, Notaries should be very careful how they advertise their services.

Rhode Island has joined several other states in declaring that online webcam notarizations do not meet state law requiring signers to personally appear before a Notary, according to an alert posted on Secretary of State A. Ralph Mollis’ Web site.
The alert states that “the person completing an acknowledgment or seeking other services from the Notary Public must ‘appear in person’ before the Notary Public. Other electronic means of appearance, such as web cam and Skype, do not comply with the requirements of state law.”
Earlier this month, Wisconsin Secretary of State Doug La Follette issued a formal announcement saying that online Notarizations were invalid and illegal. And in February, California Secretary of State Debra Bowen issued a similar alert declaring online notarizations to be illegal in the Golden State. North Carolina Secretary of State Elaine Marshall in April published a newspaper article that described the importance of personal appearance in the notarial act.
The full text of the Rhode Island alert follows:
ALERT
Please be advised that pursuant to state law, all Notary Publics authorized to by his Excellency the Governor, may exercise said powers “within this state”. An individual completing an acknowledgment must do so “before” a person authorized to take acknowledgments under Rhode Island law, including Notaries Public. The Governor of the State of Rhode Island and the Rhode Island Secretary of State have further set forth, by Executive Order, the requirement that the person completing an acknowledgment or seeking other services from the Notary Public must “appear in person” before the Notary Public. Other electronic means of appearance, such as web cam and Skype, do not comply with the requirements of state law and the Executive Order.

With more than 35 million foreign-born residents living in the United States and millions more visiting every year, the chances are that you will encounter a document in a foreign language.
Check your state law to make sure that you are permitted to notarize a document in a language you do not understand. While the document does not need to be in a language you can read, many states mandate that you must be able to read and understand the notarial certificate and signature. You also must be able to communicate directly with the signer. Do not rely on an intermediary to translate the signer’s wishes. The intermediary could misinterpret your questions and the signer’s answers.
