California Notary License Practice Exam

Performing an improper notary action under influence is considered a misdemeanor, which is a lesser offense than a felony. A mistake or error in notarization may simply require a correction, while a violation may result in disciplinary action by the notary's state agency. A felony, on the other hand, is a more serious criminal offense that may result in imprisonment or other severe penalties. Therefore, it is important for notaries to fully understand and accurately follow proper notarial procedures to avoid any potential violations or criminal charges.
