Frequently notaries are asked to notarize documents that do not have a pre-printed notarial block. It is not necessary to refuse this request. Once you have determined what type of notarial act is required, simply write, type, print, or affix a proper notarial block as required by 1-5-610, MCA.
For your convenience we have prepared printable notarial blocks for the most common requests that you can copy and print onto the document or onto a mailing-type label which can be affixed to the document and then completed. If you cannot print directly to the document or onto a label, you can print to a separate piece of paper that can be attached to the document (See below for additional language that must be added to the notarial block if a separate piece of paper is used.)
There are two versions for each type of block – one that is designed to copy or paste directly ionto a document you are creating, and a downloadable page designed to print on Avery© shipping labels, # 58164, (3 1/3 in. X 4 in.) that print out six to a sheet. Your stamp may not completely fit on the label, which is okay; stamping partially on the label and partially on the document directly is acceptable.
