Misconduct & Prohibited Acts

A non-attorney advertises notary services in Spanish. What must the ad include?

A

A notice in English only that fees vary by county

B

A notice in Spanish stating the notary can handle immigration matters

C

A notice in that language stating the notary is not an attorney and may not give legal advice or accept fees for legal advice

D

Nothing if the advertisement is electronic

Correct Answer

C. A notice in that language stating the notary is not an attorney and may not give legal advice or accept fees for legal advice

AI Explanation

Foreign-language advertising needs a very specific disclaimer. Executive Law §135-b(2) requires a notice in the other language stating: “I am not an attorney licensed to practice law and may not give legal advice about immigration or any other legal matter or accept fees for legal advice.” Unlike a generic fee notice, the statute focuses on preventing confusion with lawyers.
