Background:
Common Law affirmations (affidavit in legal lingo) are a necessary step in any notice and rebuttal to establish standing and pierce the corporate veil. Part of the legal systems framework is the use of a “Notary Public” [inversion of people to things] to act as a witness [action thing] to verify identity and procedurally enforce defaults.
Common law uses two methods of verification of identity. One is the use of a “Public Notary” [one who works on behalf of the public and not the court] who is a man or woman who does witness to the validity of the identification of a man or woman. The second is the use of the self-notary method with a red ink thumbprint.
Below is an analysis of the latter common law method. Many in the legal world and even in the “freedom movement” discount the red ink thumbprint. This is strictly from a lack of knowledge and understanding of the purpose of verification of identity and how it can be a tool for enforcement.
Using a thumbprint as self-notarization can serve as a biometric identifier to affirm identity, especially in common law, private agreements, and sovereign declarations. However, its legal standing depends on the jurisdiction and the type of document.
So, it is important to make sure you are confirming your jurisdiction is that of land and soil. This is why you do not use titles and instead declare your standing as one of mankind. If you have agreements in the legal system [licenses, registrations, federal or State contracts where you are named as a fictitious entity and you understood and agreed, affidavits of citizenship] that hold you to their jurisdiction, there could be jurisdictional conflicts.
1. Legal Standing of Self-Notarization with a Thumbprint
Common Law Recognition
A thumbprint acts as a unique biometric signature that cannot be easily forged.
Affidavits, declarations, and private agreements often allow a self-affirmed thumbprint as verification of identity.
Some common law filings rely on the maxim:
“A man’s word and mark shall stand as truth when not rebutted.”
In the Absence of a State Notary
If a state-commissioned notary is unavailable or unnecessary, a thumbprint serves as proof of intent and identity.
Some jurisdictions accept a thumbprint as a “living signature” on documents related to private trusts, declarations, and affidavits. [land and soil]
2. Limitations & Jurisdictional Concerns
State & Corporate Government Recognition
Most statutory courts require a commissioned notary public to verify identity.
A self-notarized thumbprint may not be accepted in commercial or government-controlled transactions (e.g., real estate, banking, public contracts).
Court Admissibility Varies
A thumbprint alone may not meet “official” notary standards in government-run courts. Hence, why declarations of status are key to establish common law jurisdiction; or administrative Article 1 courts lack thereof.
However, if unrebutted, it can still stand as evidence of authenticity.
3. How to Strengthen Self-Notarization with a Thumbprint
Recommended Best Practices
Include a sworn statement with the thumbprint, such as:
“i, a man/woman, affirm and attest that this document is true, correct, and complete to the best of my knowledge; i, say here and will verify at open court, and will all be true;”
Those who do Witness or Private NotaryHave two or more of mankind who do witness sign the document alongside your thumbprint
A private common law notary can also verify identity without state interference.
Affix Thumbprint in Red InkCopies of affirmations can be sent to others of mankind who will attest to the receipt of evidence
Some prefer red ink to signify a living being on the land and soil, differentiating from commercial/legal fictions
4. When is a Thumbprint Alone Sufficient?
Private Contracts & Agreements
When two or more parties agree that a thumbprint is valid proof of identity, it is enforceable as a contract.
Common Law Affidavits & DeclarationsUsed in sovereign filings, trusts, and notices to government agencies where no rebuttal occurs.
Personal Estate & Property ClaimsIf properly recorded and served, it can be used as proof of ownership or claims.
Conclusion on thumbprint self-notary
A thumbprint can serve as a powerful, biometric verification tool in common law and private agreements.
For statutory or commercial recognition, it should be supplemented with witnesses or an official notary.
Legal society card carrying members will frequently attempt to minimize this valid identification method and claim it is “in blood” as an intimidation tool. They really love to stretch reality to attempt to belittle those standing on their authority. Yet, every criminal is fingerprinted for exactly this purpose - verification of identification.
Unfortunately, as soon as our public servants see a thumbprint they are instructed to diminish your documents to the likes of a "sovereign citizen".
