New Notary Law Takes Effect

Governor Brown has signed a new law REQUIRING thumbprints for more documents than previously mandated. The National Notary Association explains the law here:

Governor Brown changes to thumbprint requirements

It is recommended good practice to take thumbprints from all signers, regardless of the type of document. I've been doing it for years. When apropriate, I explain that the thumbprint is optional, and I have never had  a signer object. So look over the new law to learn the new regulations.
