Notaries must fully understand their duties and responsibilities. Individuals assume personal liability when serving as a notary, and their employer (i.e., your financial institution) can also be held liable. This program will teach notaries how to understand and correctly execute their duties and responsibilities. Furthermore, many states have authorized some form of virtual, electronic, and remote notarizations and this program will explain the applicable rules.
