This means our County contracts and any other document requiring a <br /> notarial act must include this certificate. The enclosed notice issued by the <br /> Department of the Attorney General contains a sample certificate on the first <br /> page. <br /> Department representatives who prepare and notarize our County <br /> contracts should familiarize themselves with this requirement to ensure <br /> compliance. The enclosed FAQ sheet includes the following that may be of <br /> assistance in clarifying this new requirement: <br /> QUESTION 9: What information should be in the certificate? <br /> ANSWER: HAR§ 5-11-8 states that the notary's "acknowledgment or jurat shall <br /> be evidenced by a certificate signed and dated by the notary." The information in <br /> the certificate includes the printed name of the notary,the official stamp or seal of <br /> the notary,identification of the jurisdiction in which the notarization is <br /> performed, identification or description of the document being notarized in close <br /> proximity to the acknowledgment or jurat, and the number of pages and date of <br /> the notarized document. The information can be included within the <br /> jurat/acknowledgment itself(for example,one form of a particular type of <br /> notarization could be: "This 5-page [identification or description of notarized <br /> document], dated ,was subscribed and sworn to before me this day <br /> of ,2008, in the First Circuit of the State of Hawaii,by John H. Doe.")The <br /> information could also be in a separate certificate.An example of a separate <br /> certificate is included on our"Important Information"page,which accompanies <br /> these questions and answers. There is not,however,only one acceptable form or <br /> format for the certificate,as long as the information specified in the rule is <br /> provided. <br /> If you have any questions regarding these new requirements, you are <br /> encouraged to contact the State representatives at the number and email <br /> address listed in the enclosed notice. You may also contact our office if you <br /> have any questions concerning procedures that affect our County. <br /> Encl. <br /> LF: Other Communication/Corporation Counsel/LSA Outgoing/2008/Numbered Memorandums/07-11-08 Numbered <br /> Memorandum 2008-02/LSAmr <br /> 2 <br />
