California law allows Notaries to certify copies of powers of attorney under section 4307 of the California Probate Code. If no other notarial wording is prescribed, this certificate may be used to certify such copies. The NNA recommends that Notaries make, or supervise the making of, the copy.

There is no statutory requirement that the power of attorney be recorded with the County Recorder in the county where the real property is located.

The document should be clearly titled Power of Attorney. The POA should state the date when the POA goes into effect or specify the circumstances in which it would be enacted. Ask the principal to sign the POA. Next, notarize the document by imprinting your stamp or seal on it.

The California Notary Handbook states, “A notary public may only certify copies of powers of attorney under Probate Code section 4307 and his or her notary public journal. (Government Code sections 8205(a)(4), 8205(b)(1), and 8206(e)).”

If an attorney-in-fact is signing documents for a principal, your duties as a notary are to identify the attorney-in-fact, complete a notarial certificate, and make an entry in your record book.

In California, the law only allows a Notary Public to certify copies of his/her journals and Power of Attorney Documents (CA Government Code sections 8205(a)(4), 8205(b)(1), and 8206(e)).
