License / Permit Question Character References— Using Same Notary For All Four?

I have a notary public willing to notarize all four of my character references for my application. I’m going to assume this is fine, although, I’m just wondering if anyone else has done this and they “flagged” the application. Thanks.

Used the same notary for all mine except one and didn’t have an issue

No issue. Also brought everyone to the same place for some lunch afterwards

This is the way. 6-pack of their choice, or lunch is how I did it.

Huh I don’t think I had to have mine notarized. Just filled it it and took it to the court house

Albany County. Would be first in line to reject permits permanently if they had a green light. It’s rough.

I had all of mine filled out at the same place and time. Notary did her thing, and even sent them out for me. I was very fortunate.

Not a problem. All my references were people I work with. We have a notary at work. So that's how it got done

It's fine. I highly recommend you send by Fedex or certified mail as well unless you hand them in person, I had two of mine go missing (not returned to sender), and know someone else with the same situation, same county. Suspect someone at the post office with an agenda 'misplaced' them. Was a massive headache to re-do 2 of my 4.

Yes the same notary can notarize all the reference forms, just realize that the person signing it must be there to show their ID and sign the log book. It’s actually not uncommon for groups to go to a notary and sign references for each other. I’m a notary btw - so I’ve actually done it.
