What happens if a notary dishonestly or unfaithfully discharges any of the duties as a notary?

  1. Removal from office and ineligible for reappointment to the office of notary public

  2. Forfeiture of not more than $1000

  3. Suspension for a period of 6 months

  4. Probation for a year with supervision

The correct answer is: Removal from office and ineligible for reappointment to the office of notary public

If a notary dishonestly or unfaithfully performs their duties, they may face removal from their position as a notary and become ineligible for reappointment. Options B, C, and D do not accurately address the consequences for a notary's dishonesty and are therefore incorrect. Forfeiture of a certain amount of money, suspension for a specific time, and probation with supervision are not mentioned as potential penalties for a notary's misconduct. This highlights the severity of their actions and explains why option A is the correct choice.
