Designed to ensure transparency, authenticity, and accuracy in legal documentation, the Act establishes a strict set of qualifications, duties, and prohibitions for notary services. It regulates document certification, translation, and attestation processes while enforcing high ethical and professional standards. Notaries are appointed through a structured process, with certificates valid for five years, subject to renewal. The Act outlines clear penalties for misconduct, unauthorized practices, and document fraud, ensuring integrity in legal procedures.
