I finally am oficially a Notary in Pennsylvania now. Notaries in Pennsylvania do so much more than I was used to doing as a notary in Michigan. Besides notarizing signatures, the duties can include oaths of office and affirmations, affidavits, certificates, depositions, and other duties. I had to take my notary bond to Greensburg today to get sworn in. It was nice as it got me out of the office for a couple hours. The drive was nice too as I was able to travel some areas I had not been before along some winding tree lined roads where the fall leaves were very colorful.
Taking the oath of office was a bit comical. The person at the office of "Recorder of Deeds" has you stand up and raise your right hand and swear to "uphold the notary laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, yada yada yada...." and so on. But today being Halloween, this person was all decked out as a witch complete with pointy hat, and long wart-filled nose. So while it was a little distracting to stand in front of a witch with my hand raised while swearing to uphold the laws of my appointment, I got through it without a hex being put on me and I didn't have to resort to tossing my bottled water on her.
