Code of Conduct for Notaries

A Notary's Code of Conduct is a set of ethical standards guiding their professional behavior. It requires them to act honestly, maintain impartiality, and verify identities accurately. Notaries must keep client information confidential and avoid conflicts of interest. They are responsible for ensuring documents are signed voluntarily and understand the documents' content. Additionally, they must perform their duties with integrity, follow the law, and avoid misconduct or misrepresentation. This code helps ensure trust, validity, and legality in notarizations, protecting both the public and the integrity of the notary profession.
