James makes a great point. There just seems to be so many questions because I don't think the mandatory training is adequate...nor does it necessarily provide any correlation to updated information put out on our newsletters. Shoot... do you know how many notaries I meet who have NO CLUE that they even put out an annual newsletter... much less any of the other resources available online.
I actually keep copies of the newsletter in my briefcase now to give to those people.
I think the big issue is that the Secretary of State's office obviously has behavioral expectations of their notaries. I've known several notaries who've been audited for various reasons and the investigators nailed them (or counseled them) on "proper" procedure. And, as I mentioned before, last year's newsletter had a giant clue about this when they said that the "vast majority" of journal entries aren't being done properly. Yet, it's like pulling teeth to get them to admit to specifics as to what "properly" means to them. That, I think, is the problem. |
