I have heard stories from other notaries about being "charged" here in Hawaii fees for failure to complete notarial journals in full (fees upwardly in the $5K department). I know personally, I probably have hours and hours of "self-audit" to insure all the dots and "t"s are crossed, all the ACRONYMS are identified (for those who abbreviate), all the pages with notarial acts are counted and the total remains someplace in the front of the book (UGH! What a mess it could be!) |
