Online Notaries provide an alternative way for persons who cannot physically come to the office of a government agency to sign documents electronically. These services are not regulated by any government agency and therefore are not subject to the same laws as government-issued notaries.

In Minnesota, it is generally illegal to sign someone else’s name on a document without their permission. This is considered forgery and can carry significant penalties, including felony charges, hefty fines, and even jail time. However, there are some exceptions where it may be legal to sign on behalf of someone else, such as if you have been given explicit authorization or power of attorney. It’s important to note that the laws surrounding signing for someone else can vary depending on the specific situation and the type of document involved. If you are unsure about the legality of signing for someone else, it’s always best to consult with an attorney or seek professional legal advice.

Minnesota Notary Laws

Most people know that notary services are legal, but few understand which laws apply.

A person may not obtain or use a notary public commission in other than his or her legal name, and it is unlawful for a notary public to notarize his or her own signature. Any person applying for a notary public commission must submit proof of identity to the Department of State. Any person who violates this subsection commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s.

A notary public may not charge a fee for witnessing a vote-by-mail ballot in an election, and must witness such a ballot upon the request of an elector, provided the notarial act is in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
 
The seal shall also include the name of the notary public, the date of expiration of the commission of the notary public, and the commission number. The rubber stamp seal must be affixed to the notarized paper document in photographically reproducible black ink. Every notary public shall print, type, or stamp below his or her signature on a paper document his or her name exactly as commissioned. An impression-type seal may be used in addition to the rubber stamp seal, but the rubber stamp seal shall be the official seal for use on a paper document, and the impression-type seal may not be substituted therefor.
 
The seal and certificate of commission must not be surrendered to an employer upon termination of employment, regardless of whether the employer paid for the seal or for the commission.
 

New Notarizations can be performed outside the workplace regardless of whether a private or public entity pay
