Notary Fraud Alert
Notary Fraud Alert is a free online subscription service offered to all public notaries enabling them to monitor their name.
Once enrolled, notaries can choose to receive daily, weekly, or monthly alerts whenever a document is recorded in Pottawattamie County that includes their name as the notary. Each alert includes the document number, type, and parties involved, making it easy to identify suspicious filings at a glance.
Notary fraud can occur when someone forges a signature, misuses a notary seal, or records a document without the required presence or authorization. These actions can lead to property theft, financial loss, and legal complications.
With incidents of forged or stolen notary information on the rise nationwide, Notary Fraud Alert provides an early warning system so notaries can take swift action if unauthorized recordings are detected.
