I think that the scenario is the other way: translator Joe Smith works also as a notary. It is illegal (conflict of interest) for him to notarize his own translation, but ... his wife can get a notary stamp & seal and notarize Joe's translations. )))))

I can't speak for all states, but as a New York State notary public myself I can tell you for a fact that I can notarize anyone's document and that includes my spouse, children or any other family member's document.
