A notary is liable for all damages sustained as a result of the notary’s errors, omissions, neglect, improper performance of duty or misconduct in performing a duty. The notary is not only liable for civil damages as a result of misconduct, but is also liable to criminal prosecution if he or she signs a false or fraudulent certificate.
