Can a notary cross out a persons typed name on a document and correct it by hand?

No, a notary cannot cross out a person's typed name on a document and correct it by hand. Notaries are responsible for verifying the identity of signers and ensuring the integrity of the documents being notarized. Any alterations to a document should be made in a way that maintains its original intent, and typically, such changes would require re-execution of the document by the parties involved. It is best to create a new document or add an amendment if corrections are necessary.
