THE SINGLE BEST REFERENCE FOR ALL AMERICAN NOTARIES

Notary Public Handbook: Principles, Practices & Cases, National Edition by Alfred E. Piombino

Here is the latest, expanded and completely revised edition of the Notary "Bible” dedicated to the most complete coverage of the Notary office in the United States of America, written by the nation’s leading expert of contemporary Common Law Notarial practice  – Alfred E. Piombino.

This well organized guide “demystifies” the offices of Notary and Commissioner of Deeds. It clarifies many misconceptions and inappropriate practices that result from the lack of accurate information readily available to Notaries, Commissioners and the public.

Piombino’s Notary Public Handbook will be extremely useful to individuals preparing to qualify for initial appointment as a Notary or Commissioner. It will also be invaluable to experienced officers and persons who are interested in learning about these fascinating historic functions.

Piombino’s Notary Public Handbook includes:

- Comprehensive instructions on obtaining an appointment.

- Clear descriptions of Notary and Commissioner authority, duties and responsibilities.

- Extensive illustrations, charts and summary capsules.
- Essential legal forms, including affidavits and acknowledgment certificates.
- Technical legal terms explain in easy-to-understand language and compiled in an encyclopedic glossary.

- Valuable new appendices - including a U.S. Authentication Table and Directory - providing vital data for filing public records in all U.S. states, territories and abroad.

- New CyberNotary (sm) information and digital signatures in electronic documents.

“…this guide will give the answer to many questions raised about what a notary public can and cannot do. It contains information from actual situations involving notaries public, and describes in a practical way the duties and law in numerous areas of notary public practice.”
