I have been asked to help notarize documents for a charity. Is it ok for me to do pro bono Notary work for the charity? Is there any reason not to? — B.B., California
You may perform Notary services pro bono. There is no prohibition in California state law for doing so.
Hotline answers are based on the laws in the state where the question originated and may not reflect the laws of other states. If in doubt, always refer to your own state statutes. – The Editors
