The answer is yes, but there are certain circumstances where it would not be advisable to do so. If the contract is for a transaction that has already been completed, then backdating the contract could create problems if the other party relies on the date in the contract. For example, if you backdated a lease agreement, and the new tenant moved in on that date, they might not be able to get their security deposit back if later they were evicted.
The answer is no. A notary can’t backdate an expired driver’s license. The notary would be committing perjury if they did so. You must consult the DMV for any driver’s license or vehicle-related matters.

If it’s discovered that you broke laws in order to alter a document, there could be serious consequences. This could jeopardize your company’s reputation as well as incur financial penalties for each employee involved in backdating any forms, time cards, reports, etc. Verify that what you’re doing follows proper procedures and standards.
