What is a notarial protest?
When papers are to be used outside of the state, an authentication is usually required.
This is a declaration by the Clerk of Courts of the Common Pleas that the notary public is
properly commissioned under the law at the time of notarizing the instrument. The
authentication is forwarded with the papers to the foreign jurisdiction.
A solemn declaration under the hand and seal of a Notary Public stating that he/she, at a
certain time, presented the bill or note for payment or acceptance, that it was refused
and that the notice of the dishonor was given to the Drawers and Endorsers.
In court, papers that have been acknowledged before a Notary Public need not be
proven. The notary's certification is considered sufficient to show the authenticity of the
signature.
When the holder of bill, exchange or note presents it properly to the Maker, Drawer or
Acceptor on the day it falls due, and the payments is refused, the instrument is said to be
"dishonored."
