What is the maximum administrative penalty that can be imposed for each act?

  1. $250.00

  2. $500.00

  3. $750.00

  4. $1000.00

The correct answer is: $1000.00

The maximum administrative penalty that can be imposed for each act is $1,000. This amount reflects the seriousness of maintaining high standards and accountability for notaries public in Pennsylvania. Administrative penalties serve as a deterrent against misconduct and ensure that notaries adhere to the laws and regulations governing their duties. The structure of these penalties is designed to reinforce the trust placed in notaries as impartial witnesses to important documents and transactions. A higher penalty underscores the commitment to uphold the integrity of the notarial process, as violations can lead to significant consequences for all parties involved.
