DO NOT LIE TO A NOTARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VA Notaries are authorized to take sworn statements from individuals and document that the person has affirmed the statements under oath. Willfully lying to a notary while under oath is a crime. Furthermore, lying during a deposition when you have sworn to tell the truth is a crime. The former mayor of Detroit has been convicted because he lied to a notary. A notary is not a dude with a stamp.The notary is a public official appointed by the Governor for a specific term.
