Read the first 7 Prohibited Acts and Ethics flashcards as text

  1. A document presented for notarization has an empty blank for the loan amount. A Nevada notary should:

    Answer: Refuse to notarize until the blank is completed or lined through

    Nevada notaries may not notarize documents containing blank spaces that could be fraudulently completed later.

  2. Which of these is a permissible act for a Nevada notary, in contrast to prohibited conduct?

    Answer: Notarizing for a stranger who personally appears, presents valid ID, and pays the statutory fee

    A routine notarization with personal appearance, proper ID, and lawful fees is exactly what a notary may do.

  3. A Nevada notary suspects a signer is being pressured by a family member to sign a power of attorney. The ethical course is to:

    Answer: Refuse to notarize if the signer does not appear to be acting willingly

    A notary must be satisfied the signer is acting willingly and should refuse when coercion is apparent.

  4. Using the title 'notario publico' in advertising is prohibited for Nevada notaries primarily because:

    Answer: It misleads Spanish speakers into believing the notary has attorney-like legal authority

    In many Latin American countries a 'notario publico' is a licensed legal professional, so the term deceives immigrants about the notary's authority.

  5. A Nevada notary lends their stamp to a trusted colleague who is also a notary but left hers at home. This is:

    Answer: Prohibited, because a notary must never allow anyone else to use their stamp

    The notary stamp may be used only by the notary to whom it was issued, with no exceptions.

  6. A signer presents a document in a language the Nevada notary cannot read, but the notarial certificate is in English. The notary may:

    Answer: Proceed if the notary can communicate directly with the signer and the certificate is in a language the notary reads

    A notary certifies the signature, not the content, but must be able to communicate directly with the signer and read the certificate.

  7. A Nevada notary discovers the ID presented is expired by two years. The notary should:

    Answer: Refuse the notarization because the identification does not meet Nevada's requirements

    Nevada requires identification that is current or meets specific statutory recency rules, and a long-expired ID does not qualify.
