Notarial Acts Clarification Amendment Act of 2024

This bill updates the rules for notaries in the District of Columbia to clarify their language requirements and training oversight. It allows notaries to refuse a request if they cannot read or understand the language of the document being notarized and permits them to ask for an official translation if needed. Additionally, the law changes so that the Mayor approves notary training courses rather than providing them directly. These changes aim to ensure notaries can properly verify documents while accommodating multilingual communities.
