Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Nevada

Re: Affidavit

A Illinois notary public can notarize a document that came from another state, however, the notarization by the Illinois notary must happen in Illinois.

Also, make sure that the certificate the notary places on the document being notarized includes "State of Illinois, County of Cook." Cook is just an example. Use the county where the document is notarized.

You should also contact the person you are sending the document to in order to see if you need to attach a Certificate of Authority to the notarized document. This is a document available from the county clerk where the notary is registered. This document is proof that the notary was a legitimate notary at the time he/she notarized the document.
