Question: 1 / 160

Which of the following does NOT qualify as a reason for a Notary's commission to be revoked?

Failure to charge the proper fee.

Negligence in performing notarizations.

Refusal to notarize documents.

Conducting notarizations for relatives.

The correct answer highlights that conducting notarizations for relatives is not, by itself, a legitimate reason for a Notary's commission to be revoked. Many states allow notaries to perform services for family members as long as they adhere to the ethical guidelines and state laws governing notarizations.

In contrast, the other choices represent actions that could jeopardize a Notary's commission. For instance, failing to charge the proper fee could indicate a lack of adherence to the regulations surrounding notarization practices. Negligence in performing notarizations reflects a failure to carry out notarial duties with the required degree of care, which can lead to serious consequences and potential revocation. Finally, refusing to notarize documents without a valid reason may also be deemed inappropriate, as it undermines the role of a notary public as a neutral witness to the signing of important documents. Therefore, option D stands apart as acceptable practice within the bounds of notarial duties.
