It does not matter what type script is on the paper. The primary function of a notary is to witness the signature on the document and then verify identity. Script, Stroke, & Velocity are not determinng factors for notarization. Foreign documents that lack the proper notary language can have an acknowledgement attached or we can add a bit of language before embossing the stamp to the page. Example - "subscribed & Sworn before me on:_____.
Not in Washington State. Some states like Florida will allow the notary to be a witness and notary on the same document; however Washington State does not allow this practice. RCW 42.45 contains the rules for notarization in WA.

It has very little bearing for a Notary. A trademark is a trademark no matter how bad it looks. When pen meets paper the document is legally binding and the trademark has been executed. Notaries are not experts on the physics of scribbles. Each instance of velocity, speed, and motion will vary with each signature. Trademarks can be affixed to a document with your hand, foot, or even your mouth! It makes no difference when it comes to qualifying for notarization.
If the signer is unable to grasp the pen due to stroke the notary may hold the clipboard to meet the pen. The mark does not have to be legible. A simple scratch or X will meet the requirement for notarization in Washington State.
