"The term\u00A0\u201CNotario Publico\u201D\u00A0causes considerable confusion among members of the public, especially immigrants from Latin nations. In many Hispanic countries, a\u00A0Notario Publico\u00A0is a highly trained legal professional who has powers equivalent to an attorney or a judge.  Though the Spanish-language term directly translates as \u201CNotary\u201D in Latin America, a U.S. Notary has far more limited authority than a Latin American\u00A0Notario. Many states have strict laws prohibiting Notaries from advertising themselves as a\u00A0Notario Publico\u00A0unless they also are an attorney or requiring Notaries to run a disclaimer asserting that they cannot offer legal advice. This is because immigrants often are exploited by unscrupulous people who use this title to pretend to offer legal services.  You should never advertise yourself as a\u00A0Notario\u00A0or other foreign-language translation of \u201CNotary.\u201D Doing so could lead to a lawsuit or criminal penalties.
