| Information on substitute notaries: | "If a notary cannot perform his or her professional duties (e.g. because of being on vacation or ill) a substitute for a notary shall be appointed. While substituting for a notary, a substitute notary performs the duties of a notary and has the same rights and obligations as a notary.
In the substitution for a notary who is holding office, a substitute notary performs notarial acts in the name of the notary he or she substitutes for. In such cases the wording of certification notations includes: the name of the notary; the name of the substitute; a notation that the certifier is a substitute notary; signature of the substitute; the seal of the notary who is holding the office." |
