can a notary go to jail?
Yes, a mobile notary can go to jail if they commit a crime or engage in misconduct in the performance of their duties. Notaries are public officials who are responsible for verifying the identity of individuals and certifying the authenticity of documents. They are expected to act with honesty, integrity, and impartiality in carrying out their duties.
