<div class="v1pre">If a public notary prints his name, is that notary certification valid?</div>
<div class="v1pre">RCW 42.45.130 says the certificate must be "signed and dated" in the same manner as is on file with the state.</div>
<div class="v1pre"> </div>
<div class="v1pre">A client gave me a revocation to record. But, his name looks 100% printed. Some people tell me that my signature looks like I've printed, but it really is my cursive signature. I could not find a phone number for the notary to ask him if that is his signature or if he actually only printed his name and forgot to provide his signature. I've emailed to my client to ask for this guy's phone number. I'm going to try to check with this guy to see if that's his signature or if he printed.</div>
<div class="v1pre"> </div>
<div class="v1pre">But, what do you all think? Will this revocation need to be re-executed?<br /><br />Andrekita Silva<br />Law Office of F.
