According to Indiana’s Notary Public Guide, a certificate from a notary must include “the notary’s printed name, county of residence and commission expiration date.” Currently, Indiana’s notarial seal is using field 1818, Security Instrument Notary County, which populates the county from the security instrument. A notary public could potentially live in a different county than the property county of the security instrument. Because of this fact, we have updated Indiana’s recordable documents to use the field 15396, Security Instrument Notary ‘Residing at’. If no data is sent for field 15396, a blank line will populate for the notary’s commission county.
