NEW Education Opportunity for Alabama Notaries Public
Notary Public Underwriters is happy to announce the newly available Alabama Notary Education Course. Though an education course is not required for commissioning as a notary public by the state of Alabama, there are many benefits to taking one:
For starters, unless directly related to their employment, most people are not aware of the many duties a notary public is authorized to perform. In Alabama, a notary public is authorized to perform numerous duties, including but not limited to, taking acknowledgments and proofs, administering oaths, and executing protests. It is important that every notary know what acts they are legally allowed to perform and what each of those acts consists of.
In addition, the education course includes detailed information regarding liability and potential pitfalls new notaries should be aware of. Since, ultimately, you are responsible for everything that you notarize, it is important that, as a notary, you are aware of what the recommended safest notarial practices are.
The Alabama Notary Education Course, which consists of 13 lessons, contains quiz reviews at the end of each lesson, allowing you to test your knowledge and understanding. You don’t necessarily have to learn all the information your first time through the course, though, since the course and its contents are available to you for your full notary term. You have the ability to reference this information whenever necessary.
Whether you are a new or renewing notary, the Alabama Notary Education Course contains useful and relevant information for your commission. Taking advantage of this opportunity to improve your notary knowledge can save you both time and money in the future.
**Our goal at Notary Public Underwriters is to create a community of ethical and knowledgeable notaries. Thus, our Alabama Notary Education Course is not exclusive to notaries bonded through our company and is available to any and all Alabama notaries public.**
Civil Law Notary:Alabama law provides for appointment, by the Secretary of State, of Civil Law Notaries. To be eligible for this appointment, the person must be a member of the Alabama Bar Association (an attorney admitted to practice in Alabama) for at least five years prior to appointment. Civil Law Notaries may perform all the duties of Alabama’s traditional (common-law) notaries, and are additionally authorized to perform certain acts that are common to civil law practice. This course is written specifically for common-law notaries, and does not address Civil Law Notary requirements or powers in any manner.
