I had my TRANSFER COMMITMENT FORM (from BIR) notarized under the Vito Cruz station of LRT. He photopied it and kept a copy. Is that standard practice or should I let the maid know that some freak might come by our house (my address was there) looking for me and that she should NOT let him in?
jave the wave is correct. under the notarial law, notaries public are required to keep a copy of each document notarized. the act of notarization transforms a private document into a public document, which means that should a case involving this document ever pops up, no further evidence is necessary to prove the document. under that same law, we are also required to transmit a copy of our notarial register with the accompanying documents, to the regional trial court of the city or municipality where we were commissioned. yuck. i hate the law.
however, i find it unlikely that anyone will be dropping by your house to ask for pamasko. after all, since you had notarized under the LRT station (which is no longer allowed, by the way), it's likely that the notary himself didn't sign the document, but his or her secretary. manila has a huge problem with ambulant notaries public.
the rule prior to august 1, 2004 was that notaries are required to keep copies only of contracts or agreements acknowledged by the parties. notaries do not need to keep copies of documents containing only a jurat. on august 1, 2004, the supreme court issued new rules governing notaries public. the criteria to become a notary has become more stringent and the filing requirements increased (from monthly to weekly). with the expiration of most notarial commissions this december 31, 2004, i doubt we would still have ambulant notaries next year.
thanks panyero. i was trying to look for the new rules governing notaries on the net the other week. i was informed by my classmate that there were new rules which i was not aware of... actually, i was never aware of the rules. what i reproduced above was what the ex officio sheriff/executive clerk of court of makati told me. my commission's expiring this year too, and i'm getting one here in QC. what do the rules say about the information that we're supposed to include under our names, other than IBP, PTR, and Roll Number?
pa email naman ng rules para hindi ako nangangapa at sample petition to apply for a commission. :D
