Warning when writing "2020" on documents

WEYMOUTH NOTARY SVC. issues warning to fellow Notaries and consumers

As we enter the year 2020, most folks are typically trained in writing the abbreviated, "20" from years prior, dating back to 2000 in short form when writing the date on legal documents and checks. 

However, the unique 01/01/20 format that we see in the year 2020, for example, can lead to thieves and those looking to fool others on documents with legal or monetary implications to post-date all the way back to the year 2000. 

This article, written by the National Notary Association, gives a helpful glimpse into the "do's and don'ts" when performing notarial acts, or, just as a regular consumer.

Thanks for reading, and, for all of your Notary Public and Business Service needs, please make sure to call us for an appointment. The Weymouth Notary Service is a full service Notary Public, able to travel or perform in-office notarizations.

We're the only service on the South Shore of Massachusetts recognized by all three prominent Notary Associations: The National Notary Association, the American Association of Notaries, and the American Society of Notaries.
