My boss sent me an email with a letter attached. The letter contains his electronic signature. Can I print a hardcopy of that letter and (wet) notarize the hardcopy? — J.F., Delaware
To perform any notarization in Delaware, state law requires that the signer (your boss) personally appear before you. If you print a hardcopy of the letter, you must witness his signature or he must personally acknowledge that he signed the document for you to notarize.
Hotline answers are based on the laws in the state where the question originated and may not reflect the laws of other states. If in doubt, always refer to your own state statutes. – The Editors
