What do you need to do if the date or signer's name on the notarial certificate is misspelled?

If the date or signer's name on the notarial certificate is misspelled, the appropriate action is to strikethrough the incorrect information and provide the correct version. This approach maintains the integrity of the document while allowing for the correction to be clearly noted. By striking through the mistake and writing the correct information, you ensure that there is a clear record of what the intended information was while also documenting the change in a transparent manner.

This method prevents potential confusion or disputes that could arise from simply leaving the error uncorrected. It's important to always ensure that all details on a notarial certificate are accurate to uphold the validity of the notarization. Other options, such as reprinting the notarial certificate or canceling the notarization, could create unnecessary complications or lead to delays, making it crucial to address the misspelling directly on the certificate itself. Informing the signer while leaving an error uncorrected does not fulfill the requirement for accuracy and can cause issues later on.
