I contacted Patricia Hamby who works at S.C. Secretary of State as Director of Notaries and she gave me the following guidance:
The false certification by a notary public is a misdemeanor by law under SC Statute paragraph 26-1-95. You must report it to your local law enforcement agency, provide them with the above statute. Once the notary is convicted in a court of law of false certification by a notary public, the Court must notify our office at which time we are instructed to permanently revoke the notary\'s commission. Also I believe forgery is a felony which would be against the person who forged your father\'s name. You should insist in with the law enforcement located where the incident took place. False certification by a notary public is a crime albeit a misdemeanor under the law I provided to you. This will only allow them to charge and prosecute the notary for \"False certification by a notary public.\" Punishable by not more than a $200.00 fine or 30 days in jail and the permanent loss of commission upon conviction and notification to our office from the Court. Patricia L. Hamby, Director Notaries, Authentication, Boards and Commissions S. C. Secretary of State Office of Mark Hammond (803) 734-2512 P. O. Box 11350, Columbia, SC 29211 |
