Can You Notarize Fax Or A Photocopy of The Document?

A photocopy or fax may be notarized, but only if it bears an original signature. That is, the copy must have been signed with pen and ink.

A photocopied or faxed signature may never be notarized. 

Care should be taken to copy faxes from thermal paper to regular paper before proceeding in having a document notarized in order to avoid rejection by public recorders.
