You can't notarize your own documents and remain impartial. Whenever you have a transaction that involves you — or even one where you simply feel that you can't be impartial — it can be in everyone's best interest to have someone else notarize the documents.
To make a notarized letter, begin with your contact details, create a clear message explaining the purpose of the letter. Include any legal language if necessary. Conclude with a formal closing and leave space for your signature. And that's how you write a statement that needs to be notarized.
In Arizona, notaries can perform only acknowledgments, jurats, copy certifications, and oaths and affirmations. Samples of each can be found in our Notary Public Reference Manual (PDF).
However, they advise against it as a best practice. Contrastingly, Arizona's laws forbid notarizing any documents where the notary or their relatives are party to or stand to benefit.
Arizona law prohibits a notary from notarizing for themselves or spouses. Just because the law allows you to notarize for other family members, it is not recommended. You would compromise your role as an impartial witness and may jeopardize the validity of an important transaction.

One of the most common mistakes that notaries make is not printing or signing their name exactly as it appears on their notary commission.
