Part B. Types of Notary Public Acts and How to Perform the Acts
Signature by MarkPrevious Page
When a person makes a Signature by Mark, the notary public also must perform the following additional steps: | If the signer must acknowledge his or her signature on a document, the signer can make a mark where his or her signature should be in the presence of the notary public or can acknowledge that the mark in the place for a signature is his or her mark. Note that the “mark” does not need to be an “X.” If the signer is subscribing and swearing to an affidavit, the signer must make a mark where his or her signature should be in the presence of the notary public. Note that the “mark” does not need to be an “X.” Two witnesses must observe the signer making their mark and must sign their names next to the signer’s mark on the document. One of the witnesses must write the name of the signer making the mark next to the signer’s mark. The signer also must make his or her mark as the required signature in the notary public’s journal. The making of the mark in the notary public’s journal must be witnessed by a person. The witness must sign his or her name next to the mark and write the name of the signer next to the mark.
