What should notaries do to ensure they are complying with relevant laws?

Staying informed about changes in laws is essential for notaries to maintain compliance with the relevant regulations governing their duties. The legal landscape can frequently shift due to new legislation, amendments, or judicial interpretations. Being up-to-date allows notaries to understand their responsibilities, the scope of their authority, and any procedural changes that may impact their notarial acts.

By actively seeking out updates, attending training sessions, or participating in professional organizations, notaries can ensure they are effectively serving their clients while adhering to state laws. This diligence ultimately protects notaries from potential legal repercussions and helps maintain the integrity of the notarial process.
