Happy Notary Public Day to notaries everywhere! A Notary Public dates all the way back to Ancient Egypt where “scribes” were the earliest known chroniclers of official communication. Then in Ancient Rome, the first recorded notary, Marcus Tullius Tiro, played a pivotal role in shaping this profession!
Marcus, a slave turned freedman and secretary to famed orator, Cicero, created a system of shorthand that allowed for the accurate recording of important documents. 📜✨ This laid the groundwork for notaries as essential figures in verifying identities and witnessing signatures throughout history. Today, our role remains vital in ensuring the authenticity of legal transactions and protecting others from fraud.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the important contributions of notaries in our society and to the notaries who will shape the future.
