The primary ethical responsibility of a notary is to remain impartial and ensure that the notarization process is fair and unbiased.
If a notary has a conflict of interest, they should refuse to perform the notarization and suggest the signer find another notary.
Backdating notarizations is illegal and unethical, and notaries must refuse such requests.
Inform the parties involved and correct the error properly. Notaries should correct any errors transparently and ensure the notarization is accurate.
Notaries must adhere to the fee limits set by state law, and charging more is both unethical and illegal.
