Advertising as a "notario público" can be misleading, especially to non-English speakers, as it may imply that the notary is authorized to offer legal advice.
Notaries are not authorized to provide legal advice unless they are licensed attorneys.
The primary duty of a notary is to confirm the identity of the signer and ensure that the signing is done willingly.
Notaries are prohibited from notarizing documents where they have a direct personal or financial interest.
Notarizing a fraudulent document can lead to severe legal consequences, including criminal charges.
