The notary public is a public official appointed by the Secretary of State through the power conferred by the clerk by state law. The notary has the power to: ►administer oaths ►take awards ►Perform other functions as permitted by law. It is very important that notaries always remember the public nature of the office hold. It is the duty of all notaries to serve the public and they may not unreasonably refuse to perform a notarial act for any member of the public who offers legal fees and complies with all requirements prescribed by law. However, the notary must exercise the same care not to exceed the authority of the office when offering opinions or advice to persons requesting the performance of notarial acts.
