Advertising
When advertising your services as a notary public, you cannot advertise that you have any rights or privileges that are not granted to you in your capacity as a notary. Also, you must never use your notarial seal in any advertising, or for any reason other than an official notarial act.
If you advertise your services in a foreign language, and you are not an attorney, you must include the following statement in both English and in the language you are advertising for: “I am not an attorney and, therefore, cannot give legal advice about immigration or any other legal matters.” You are also required to list the fees that you are permitted to charge by law.
The literal translation of “Notary Public” into Spanish (notario publico or notario) is specifically prohibited. Failure to abide by the advertising restrictions can result your commission being suspended or revoked, as well as civil penalties. A second offense will result in your commission being permanently revoked. |
