Sad but true, I wish I didn't need to replace 9 of 10 notarial wording that will be recorded outside of CA. Although allowed to use other wording if filed outside of CA, the wording can't say something contrary to what is allowed by a CA notary. The 9 out of 10 have some variation of "signer personally know by (me)", without an option to choose provided ID to prove. I don't know these people from Jack, and will not sign that I know them when I don't. Since the doc does not offer the option to identify via identification, I replace the wording.
Because that wording is so common from out of state sources, I wonder how many notaries in other states replace it, or do they KNOW all of their constituents.
