Does the Notarial Record law affect only those Notaries commissioned in Cook County?
The new law requires any Illinois Notary who notarizes a Document of Conveyance transferring or purporting to transfer the title to certain real property located in Cook County, Illinois, to create and file a Notarial Record. While Notaries commissioned in Cook County, Illinois, may notarize a pertinent Document of Conveyance more frequently than a Notary commission in another county of the state, the new law applies to all Illinois Notaries.
