Principles of Notarial Procedure

Principles of Notarial Procedure are the fundamental rules guiding how notaries carry out their duties. These principles ensure that acts like authenticating documents or witnessing signatures are done accurately, impartially, and transparently. Key principles include legality (following the law), integrity (maintaining honesty and credibility), confidentiality (protecting clients' information), impartiality (serving all fairly), and due diligence (carefully verifying details). Together, these principles help ensure the validity, trustworthiness, and security of notarial acts, thereby upholding legal standards and public confidence in official documentation.
