We received this question regarding notarizing documents in Ohio:

Ink! I just passed the Basic Notary class & test. What I felt wasn't covered was a basic question - what type of pens and/or ink colors are allowed when I notarize a document?? Felt tip pens, thin Sharpies, ballpoints, gel pens (some even have a touch of metallic in them) - there's a lot of instruments out there!
