Notarization Question

We don't have those in IL so I don't think I can help. But I'm wondering why there is a cost? How much is it?

I'm honestly not sure. I never had to do this because I immunize my children, but for notarization for anything usually is a price.

I have had things notarized at no cost.

I'm looking at the website and it doesn't say about paying. I'm honestly not sure and if this is true, then this parent has legit no excuse to get another one.

I've never had a notary charge me before. The reasons of conscience form is free - anyone can download one. It's the signatures - if the doc has to sign off on it, some doctors offices will charge a flat fee for paperwork outside of an appointment.

I would hope that if the doctor's office indeed made a date error, she should be able to go back and have them fix their error, free of charge. Maybe Amethya can call the MD office to verify and ask them to change the date.

Sadly it wasn't, it was the grandmother who did it.

But how do they change the date? Make a new one?

Oh, I was assuming the MD wrote 2017 by accident. Maybe they will take pity on her and do a new one anyway...

The MD has nothing to do with this document. Parent signs it in front of a notary; school keeps the original document. It's good for two years and another one must be submitted. If the date filled in on the notary stamp is correct you're ok. That's the date the 2 year clock starts ticking on. If the Notary stamp date has been changed it isn't valid.

It's more of the date that is written on the part that says "Sworn to before me by the said affiant, this *blank date*". She crossed out the 17 and put 18 and the stamp was unreadable.

I already spoke with mom and she basically said she will re do it again, since they have time between the 30 days once school starts. it's only two weeks wait for a new one and the child is provisional for at least a while.

She was pleasant and we had a good agreement and conversation.

If she has a bank account (or credit union account), most financial institutions will notarize paperwork for free (provided it's not 100 pages or something -- a single sheet of paper is fine).

I used to be a notary public in the state of Michigan in my pre-nursing life, and I think the state capped the fee at $6.00. It's not an expensive thing, even if you do have to pay for it (like at city hall or a courthouse).
