i’m going to be a notary public
the state of oregon now requires that potential notaries public take a three hour online tutorial before applying. they haven’t safeguarded it against savvy applicants, however, and it seems that as long as you’re logged in, the time keeps ticking, so it’s possible to minimize the frame for three hours and pay attention only as long as it takes to complete the open ‘book’ exam. i am, however, worthy of the office and would never ever cheat. it was a little interesting, nothing more, but here are a few of gems:
notaries are nice.
- A notary public must be a person of good moral character. “Good moral character” means character other than that which reflects moral turpitude and conduct which would cause a reasonable person to have substantial doubts about an individual’s honesty, fairness and respect for the rights of others and for the laws of the state and the nation. To be relevant to deciding whether a person is of “good moral character,” conduct of questionable good moral character must be rationally connected to the applicant’s fitness to be a notary public.

- The notary must require that the signer personally appear, verbally or affirmatively swear to the oath, and sign before the notary. An oath is a solemn pledge of truthfulness to a Supreme Being; an affirmation is a solemn personal pledge of honor that something is true. Both carry the penalty of perjury of forsworn.
power through translation. the latin title ‘notario publico’ comes with a light saber.
- A person may not use the term “notario publico” or any equivalent non-English term, in any business card, advertisement, notice, sign or in any other manner that misrepresents the authority of a notary public.
