Take the Latest My Opinion Survey!
Notaries play a major role in many industries, including the
government and the legal community. From affidavits to witness
statements, there is no debate over the necessity of this function,
but does a notary certificate have an impact on a paralegal's
career? Are the benefits of
being a paralegal notary worth the extra responsibility? Do
employers offer incentives to
paralegals for becoming notaries?
