What is a Notary Presentment?
A notary presentment is a request for a notary to certify that a financial demand has been made to an individual or entity. The notary is also asked to note if a response was received.
It is part of a protest, which is a legal claim made by financial institutions and banks for unpaid debts. The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) defines presentment as a demand made to pay an instrument or to accept it.
When making a presentment, the following must be done:
- The instrument must be exhibited
- The person making the presentment must provide reasonable identification
- If the presentment is made on behalf of someone else, reasonable evidence of authority must be provided
- A receipt must be signed on the instrument for any payment made, or the instrument must be surrendered if full payment is made
