It is possible to notarize a document that does not have a date, but the signer should either fill in the date or mark through it if there is a space for it. If the document does not have a space for a date, the signer may date it next to their signature or mark.
Notarization is also possible when the signer is hospitalized or in a care facility, but the notary will take steps to ensure that the signer is capable of understanding the document and is not incapacitated.
Faxes and photocopies can only be notarized if they contain an original signature.
