Dear [Recipient's Name],

I am writing to file a formal complaint against [Notary's Name], a commissioned notary public, for their failure to properly execute their duties, resulting in significant inconvenience, financial loss, and potential legal complications for me, their client. Specific instances of negligence or misconduct by [Notary's Name] include:

Failure to Properly Identify Signatories:

On [Date], [Notary's Name] failed to adequately verify the identities of the signatories involved in the notarization process, contrary to the provisions outlined in [State Statute or Regulation]. This oversight led to a situation where the authenticity of the signatures could be questioned, potentially jeopardizing the validity of the documents involved.

Incorrect Notarial Certificate:

On [Date], [Notary's Name] erroneously affixed an incorrect notarial certificate to the documents in question, rendering them legally insufficient for their intended purpose. This oversight directly contravenes the requirements outlined in [State Statute or Regulation], which mandates the accurate completion of notarial certificates to ensure the validity and enforceability of the documents.

Lack of Record-Keeping:

Despite the statutory obligation to maintain accurate records of notarial acts, [Notary's Name] failed to uphold this responsibility by neglecting to maintain a comprehensive log of the transactions they facilitated. This failure to adhere to record-keeping requirements undermines the integrity of the notarial process and raises concerns about the reliability of [Notary's Name]'s services.

The aforementioned instances of negligence and misconduct have had adverse effects on my interests, including:

Financial Loss: As a result of the errors committed by [Notary's Name], I have incurred financial losses associated with the need to rectify the improperly notarized documents and potentially engage legal counsel to address any ensuing complications.
Legal Uncertainty: The discrepancies introduced by [Notary's Name]'s actions have created uncertainty regarding the legal validity of the documents in question, thereby exposing me to potential legal challenges and disputes.
Inconvenience: The need to rectify the errors made by [Notary's Name] has resulted in significant inconvenience, requiring additional time and resources to resolve the issues and obtain properly executed documents.

In light of [Notary's Name]'s failure to fulfill their obligations as a notary public, I respectfully request that the following actions be taken to address this situation effectively:

Investigation and Disciplinary Action: I urge [Recipient Name] to conduct a thorough investigation into the conduct of [Notary's Name] and, if warranted, impose appropriate disciplinary measures by [State Notary Laws or Regulations].
Remedial Training: [Notary's Name] should be required to undergo remedial training on proper notarial practices and procedures to prevent future occurrences of negligence or misconduct.
Restitution: [Notary's Name] should be held accountable for any financial losses incurred by me as a direct result of their actions, and appropriate restitution should be provided.

I trust that [Recipient Name] will give due consideration to this complaint and take prompt and decisive action to address the misconduct of [Notary's Name]. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
