DUTIES AND LIABILITIES OF NOTARIES AS PUBLIC OFFICIALS IN CRIMINAL LAW
Keywords:
Abstract
Notaries are public officials who play a crucial role in the legal system by attesting to the authenticity of documents and administering oaths. However, their position of trust also comes with certain duties and liabilities, especially in the context of criminal law.One of the primary duties of notaries in criminal law is to verify the identity of the parties involved in the transaction and ensure that they are acting of their own free will. They must also ensure that the documents being notarized are legal and do not violate any laws or regulations. Failure to perform these duties can result in criminal liability for the notary.Notaries may also be held criminally liable for knowingly or recklessly notarizing false or fraudulent documents, or for intentionally falsifying information in a document. In some cases, notaries may be held liable for aiding and abetting criminal activities, such as fraud or money laundering, if they are found to have knowingly assisted in the commission of such crimes.
