Despite the NASS stance on out-of-state notarization, the states themselves, and the courts, actually get to decide whether an out-of-state notarization can be used in the jurisdiction. Many routinely reject out-of-state notarizations which fail to satisfy the standards for notarizations within that state. (Federal courts are different--they will accept notarizations if the notarization would be valid under the laws of the forum state.)
