Because of notarysigner's experience with a Nevada bank notary, I took a look yesterday at the Nevada SOS website on which there is a list of notaries under the heading "Suspended and Revoked Notaries" whose commissions have been cancelled, revoked or suspended since 2009. If I'm reading it correctly, it lists the names of nearly 700 notaries. I am shocked. 700 notaries? I wouldn't have thought there were than many notaries in the entire state. I grew up in Nevada where there are more cows than people.
Now, I don't know exactly what "cancelled" means, but I have a pretty good idea what suspended and revoked mean, and there were hundreds of those. What's going on there? If all a notary had to do to get their commission suspended is lie lie lie about personal appearance, knowingly notarize a forged document, etc. well, they'd have plenty of company... at least in Nevada. |
