NEWS / Legislation targets disreputable notaries


The Senate is reviewing legislation which would help to protect individuals from receiving false legal advice and notary services from unqualified persons. SB 445 would impose a Class A misdemeanor on any person who is not an attorney, but uses a term in English or another language that implies the person is an attorney, or uses the term "notario" in any document, advertisement, letterhead, stationery, business card or another document describing the role of a notary public.

The bill (Indiana General Assembly) further requires a notary who is not an attorney and who advertises notary services in a language other than English to include a statement in the advertisement and on certain business documents that the notary is not an attorney and cannot provide legal advice. A Class A misdemeanor can result in a maximum fine of $5,000 and is punishable by up to one year in jail.
