In this episode you will learn: - Why the literal translation of "Notary Public" to "notario publico" is strictly prohibited in California under Government Code section 8219.5. - The specific penalties for improperly using the term "notario publico," including a commission suspension of at least one year for a first offense and permanent revocation for a second. - The rule from Government Code section 8223 that prohibits a notary from advertising their notary services if they also hold themselves out as an immigration consultant. - The maximum fee a notary who is also a bonded immigration consultant may charge for the non-legal service of entering data onto immigration forms, which is $15 per set of forms. - The critical distinction that while a person can be both a notary and a registered immigration consultant, they cannot advertise both services together to avoid misleading the public.
