Any Ohio notaries come across this form? Who can notarize it? It is an application for dealer assignment. Does the person giving attorney in fact rights need to be physically present for the notarization? I would think so. However the below title does say deputy clerk notary. In OH are notaries also deputy clerks?
Here is the form:

I had the signer in my physical presence for the signature however was told not to notarize and in OH the deputy clerk will notarize this form. Also the signer that was physically present with me will not go to Ohio to be physically present there in front of the deputy clerk notary. Maybe I’m missing something here, I’m still doing some digging on this.
In any case dealers do not always do things correct and take on huge liabilities (their notaries do too and might not even know it). My husband purchased a vehicle 3 hours away and they sent him all the papers to sign and overnight which he did than the dealer’s notary, notarized it all without him there!!! Including a POA!!! This is no mom and pop dealership either. The vehicle was driven to him after the papers finalized. Usually a dealer will need to work with a notary nearby for this type of signing but it does not seem to be the case.
Back to my question, I’d appreciate more information on this Ohio Application for Dealer Assignment, especially if someone is better familiar with Ohio notary rules.
