Why Your Organization Needs Employer Services Support Program

Providing notarial services within your organization enhances business productivity. Prepare and support your Notaries with training, supplies, and even a robust certification program from the NNA's Employer Services Support Program — the industry standard.

Employer Liability... "Notary employers should be at least as vigilant about proper notarial practice as their Notary employees, because both can be legally liable for the same wrongdoing."
— Michael L. Clausen

How Employer Services Support Program Reduces Your Business Risks

We Urge You to Take Notice

Civil Liability: Improper notarizations subject you as an employer to costly lawsuits. Your business, not just your Notary, is vulnerable. In fact, many states explicitly hold employers financially liable for damages resulting from their Notaries' innocent errors or misconduct.

Read about one such example Vancura v. Katris (.pdf).

Criminal Liability: Employers who knowingly or unknowingly encourage their Notaries to violate the law may themselves be criminally liable. Learn what you may and may not ask your Notary employee to do.

Lost Revenue: Improper notarizations can result in failed transactions. Your business stands to lose the transaction dollars, the dollars spent to execute the transaction, and future revenue from dissatisfied customers.
