The UNC School of Government has published the North Carolina Notary Public Manual (2026 Edition), a significant update that all North Carolina notaries must reference . This new manual is the official replacement for the 2016 edition, and it consolidates guidance for both traditional and electronic notaries.
Why does this matter for you as someone needing notary or apostille services? The manual reflects evolving standards in notarial practice, particularly around electronic and remote notarization. It ensures that notaries throughout North Carolina are following consistent, up-to-date procedures.
One key provision in North Carolina law is the requirement that the signer must personally appear before the notary. Failure to require personal appearance can result in automatic commission revocation . This protects you by ensuring that your signature was genuinely witnessed.
TLG Notary Services stays current with all regulatory changes, including the new manual's guidance. When you work with us in Greensboro or the surrounding counties, you can trust that your documents are handled according to the highest standards of North Carolina law.
