359.05 DATE OF EXPIRATION OF COMMISSION AND NAME TO BE ENDORSED.
Every notary public, except in cases provided in section 359.03, subdivision 3, taking an
acknowledgment of an instrument, taking a deposition, administering an oath, or making a
notarial protest, shall, immediately following the notary's physical or electronic signature to the
jurat or certificate of acknowledgment, endorse the date of the expiration of the commission;
such endorsement may be legibly written, stamped, printed upon the instrument, but must be
disconnected from the seal, and shall be substantially in the following form: "My commission
expires ............, ....." Except in cases provided in section 359.03, subdivision 3, every notary
public, in addition to signing the jurat or certificate of acknowledgment, shall, immediately
following the signature and immediately preceding the official description, endorse thereon the
notary's name with a typewriter, print the same legibly with a stamp, with pen and ink, or affix by
electronic means; provided that the failure so to endorse or print the name shall not invalidate
any jurat or certificate of acknowledgment.
