As a notary public in the State of Hawaii, you have UNLIMITED financial liability on EVERY document you notarize. If you are a notary for your employer, your employer could also be held liable for your mistakes. All too often people take the office of Notary Public lightly, which is a huge mistake. Even though your state does not require education, it could keep you out of trouble.

- Every person appointed and commissioned a notary must forthwith file a literal or photo static copy of his commission, an impression of his seal, and a specimen of his official signature with the clerk of the circuit court of the circuit in which the notary resides. Each person may also, at his option, file the above-named documents with the clerk of any other circuit court. Thereafter, any clerk, when requested, shall certify to the official character and acts of any such notary whose commission, impression of seal and specimen of official signature is so filed in his office (a process called authentication). (Authentication is usually required when a document notarized by a local notary public is sent to another state or country. Such state or country may require evidence that the notary who notarized the document is a duly commissioned officer of the State of Hawaii.)
