Is a supplier/vendor suppose to complete dollar figures on a sub's lien waiver, as well as confirm and notarize?

We are a vendor/supplier and are presented with lien waivers very often. Occasionally we are presented with a blank waiver, asking us to complete the dollar amounts, dates etc. then confirm and notarize. As the notary, I refuse to sign if the customer has not completed the amounts/dates/invoice numbers they are requesting the waiver for. I feel we as the vendor are not responsible for completing the information on the waiver, only confirming and agreeing it is correct. Am I correct in this?

I am sorry, but I do not understand your question. Typically, the general contractor or project manager on the project would come to the sub asking for a lien waiver, which would be based on the fact that the sub has been paid. Assuming the sub is your customer, and has purchased materials from you, I do not see how whether the sub has paid you for those materials or not would be relevant for purposes of the requested lien waiver.
