I wanted to confirm that the answer is no. I am a newly commissioned Notary Public and have not Notarzied any documents yet because what I am learning from the the Dept of Revenue in NJ is that the documents have to be created in NJ and deal with NJ jurisdiction, I am getting a different answer from my employer who said that I can notarize New York doucments. I explained to my boss, if I am a Dual Notary, I can sign New York documents. I have declined my bosses request to sign New York documents. Thanks.

My manual says I can notarize documents in any county in the state of New Jersey, I have read it thank you. My boss told me I could notarize documents within the State of New Jersey if the documents relate to New York. I already told my boss no, I will not notarize anything I should not be notarizing. I wanted to confirm it, that I cannot. In NJ you do not take a test to become a Notary Public, in New York you need to take a test. I know it differs from State to State. My boss does not think this makes sense.

Each State has their own tests and qualifications for being a Notary. You are only legal within your licensed State and documents for that State.

Notaries are state specific. you should probably know this if you took the test.

Read your handbook that came with your appointment.
