The document contains another state's venue.
Short answer
Correct the venue to the state and county where the notarization actually takes place, or attach a compliant loose certificate.
Full explanation
Preprinted venues are common on documents drafted out of state. Line through the incorrect state and county, write the correct ones, initial and date the change. If the preprinted certificate wording itself does not comply with your state's requirements, attach a loose certificate instead.
Common mistake to avoid
Never notarize with a venue naming a place where you were not physically located.
