What is one common mistake made by notaries regarding policies?

Adopting policies contrary to UCA 46-1-8
Not charging for their services
Using outdated notarial seals
Failing to keep a journal of transactions

The correct answer is: Adopting policies contrary to UCA 46-1-8

One common mistake made by notaries is adopting policies contrary to UCA 46-1-8 because this statute outlines the specific responsibilities and limitations placed upon notaries public in Utah. It is essential for notaries to adhere strictly to these guidelines to ensure that they are operating within the legal framework established by the state. Violating these rules can result in penalties, including the potential loss of notary commission, legal repercussions, and diminished trust from the public. In contrast, while not charging for their services, using outdated notarial seals, and failing to keep a journal of transactions can also be missteps, they do not directly violate specific statutory policies like UCA 46-1-8 does. Each of these may be poor practices but generally do not carry the same level of legal implication as adopting contradictory policies. Understanding and following UCA 46-1-8 is foundational for any notary to function correctly and maintain their role effectively.
