Challenges for today's Notary Public

Chances are, you’ve either had to visit a notary public in your life or have become one yourself. A notary public’s job is to certify – using his or her seal – that a subject’s documentation is authentic and acceptable to authorities. A notary public must be very familiar with the characteristics of legal documents and be extremely careful about approving the validity of them. Today, there are several opportunities for phony documents to ‘pass under the radar’. First of all, the demand for notaries has significantly increased in recent years due to the credit economy and the need for mortgage revisions. The advent of free or inexpensive publishing software allows people to easily fabricate their own inauthentic documentation. Electronic forms can easily end up in the wrong hands when a computer is infected by viruses or other cyber attacks. Additionally, identity theft is a common and global problem and can compromise any person’s ability to fill out legal paperwork.
