Avoid date issue with Secretary of State by getting documents and notary done at the same time

An interesting issue,  which could be avoided with experience was brought up by my DNAS attorney, One a document which I had the Secretary of State idaho create, notarize and certify was questioned by the Vietnamese authority.  

Basically they noticed that one of the documents was printed on July 22nd, yet it was not notarized and authenticated until July 29th so they asked me to explain.

They may accept the explanation.

I had the SOS print out the document on the 22nd,  but I did not take the document into be notarized and authenticated for legalization until one week later when I had the passports and other documents I needed.  When went back in and they said,  "we can go ahead and do that with document you already have".  

Basically they were able to easily verify the authenticity of the document,  and they remembered me. Perhaps they were atttempting to save me the 10$ fee.  I am not sure if this is acceptable document handling,  However it does seem non standard,  the document they notarized had left their hands and some authority may not accept that.

To avoid this,  Just get the documents all printed, notarized and authenticated at the same time
