Heidi, I think what is throwing people off is using the term *legal.* Many people are certified thru XYZ, as we refer to them, and we’ve all gotten our notary commissions thru our state SOS. Legal usually references a law office and probably reason for asking if you are a paralegal.
If you are saying *legal* because you’ve taken XYZ’s certification text and have a state notary commission, there is no need to say you’re legal, |
