I'm not sure about every State but in the State of North Dakota the Notary can not tell you what kind of a notarization you need for your document (even if he/she knows) because that would be "practicing" law without a license. The two most common notarization's are Acknowledgments and Jurats. If you don't know what you need... don't ask the notary!
When you want a document notarized but it does not have the State required "notarial language" on it we can add either an acknowledgment or a jurat to it to accomplish your intended purpose HOWEVER we would be practicing law if we told you, or even advised you, which one to use. Therefore if you want us to notarize a document, such as a bill of sale, and it does not have the notarial language on it you may wish to Google those two legal forms (Acknowledgment and Jurat) so you know which one to ask for when you arrive at our office.
