Warning for State of Michigan notaries!

State of Michigan notaries do not have notary ID numbers.

When an out of state jurat or acknowledgement requires a number

I put N\A. (non applicable). I’ve never had a problem with that for the last 5 years

However, I got a call from an escrow officer saying that

wayne county required a notary ID number on a mortgage that I notarized.

WHAT IS GOING ON?!?! Has any Sate of Michigan notary

heard anything about this???

That escrow officer must be NEW or not in the state of Michigan. Tell them you can’t provide what you do not have and ask them to please look it up for themselves https://www.nationalnotary.org/file%20library/notary%20assets/0b8d193a-6d03-4dff-8b74-3d11fef4ddd0/commision.pdf

OR direct them to the Michigan SOS website: Notary services

GOOD LUCK, Jenn!

Thanks, I think you’re right, the EO said they will call me later so we’ll see what they say

Same here in Tennessee. We don’t have Id numbers and I just put N/A and have never had an issue.
