Thumb print : Does the Notary need to take Thumbprint during notarization?

Thumb print : Does the Notary need to take Thumbprint during notarization?

As per California law Notaries are required to take signers’ thumbprints for certain transactions. Ie., deed, quitclaim deed, or deed of trust affecting real property or a power of attorney document. .

However its always a good practice to take thumbprint for all the notarization from every signer because of its value in deterring fraud and providing evidence to law enforcement officials

 As a Notary over the last 5+ years, I have been taking Thumbprint for all the notarization from every signer.. no exception!

Thank you for your understanding.
