Notary ethics

Notary ethics refer to the principles that guide notaries to act honestly, impartially, and with integrity. They must verify the identity of signers, ensure documents are signed willingly and knowingly, and avoid conflicts of interest. Notaries are responsible for maintaining impartiality, refusing to perform any act that may compromise their neutrality or violate laws. Upholding these ethical standards helps prevent fraud, protects public trust, and ensures legal documents are validated correctly. Ethical conduct is crucial for maintaining the credibility and reliability of notarial acts within the legal system.
