Free Notary Public Seminars
to
Secretary of State Mark Hammond is offering eight free regional notary public seminars this summer and fall for all South Carolina notaries and those interested in becoming a notary. Secretary Hammond is excited to announce that the 2014 legislative session brought many critical improvements to the law regulating South Carolina notaries public. Most sections of the law had not been updated since the 1960s. The full text of the law can be found here.
Notaries public hold an important position of responsibility. It is critical to understand the duties and responsibilities of notaries under the new law. The key function of a notary is to protect citizens against fraudulent activity. Once commissioned as a notary public, it is the responsibility of the notary to maintain a level of training necessary to perform the duties of the position as required by law. These seminars will address new state laws governing the duties and responsibilities of notaries. The unauthorized practice of law will also be addressed in a joint session with a representative from the South Carolina Bar.
The seminars are a public service of the Secretary of State’s Office.
Doors will open at 5:30 pm on the day of the seminar; seminar will begin promptly at 6:00 pm; seminar will conclude by 7:30 pm.
