[WSBAPT] PR in Japan

Mon Sep 9 20:15:16 PDT 2019

A client once requested that I notarized his signature via skype so I looked into it.   I decided that I could not do it because of the statute copied below.  If e-notary is a thing, I would appreciate the authority. Thanks.

RCW 42.45.040<http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=42.45.040>
Personal appearance. (Effective until October 1, 2020.)
If a notarial act relates to a statement made in or a signature executed on a record, the individual making the statement or executing the signature shall appear personally before the notarial officer.

Would an online notary work? I’ve never used an e-notary before but I know they exist.

Hi All,

I have a probate where the PR is in Japan. Has anyone filed an Oath for PR in Japan? My understanding is that they do not notarize documents the way we do here, rather each adult may be issued a government approved and registered stamp which is used for signing of legal documentation.  Is there something I should file with the court to clarify why the PR would not have a notarized signature in the way we do here? PR lives very far away from an Embassy, otherwise I'd have the PR just go there. Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Jenny Ling, Esq.
