Notaries have long played a role in popular culture, from TV shows to movies. Notaries in pop culture can be funny and provide entertainment, but they also serve as a reminder of honesty and integrity. 

They help to uphold ethical standards and verify the validity of important documents. This helps maintain trust and keep things running smoothly. 

1. The Serious Business of Being a Notary 

In popular culture, one instance of a notary can be seen in the character Arthur Spooner in the television series “King of Queens.” Arthur is an unemployed elderly man living in his daughter’s basement who is trying to find a new career path. He enrolls in a Notary class and asks his daughter to help him practice notarizing. 

Deposit his best efforts, the stress of the situation becomes too much for him and he gives up on his dreams of becoming a notary. However, his character’s integrity and dedication serve as a reminder of the importance of the role of notaries in our society.

One more example that may be mentioned is the character Sheldon in the television show “The Big Bang Theory.”  Sheldon decides he needs to cement his relationship with Amy, the woman who has captured his interest. He draws up a relationship agreement which he prepares to notarize himself. 

However, his personal stake in the matter disqualifies him from notarizing a document. This scenario mirrors the real-life dilemma that notaries face when it comes to avoiding conflicts of interest in their work.

2. The Importance of Doing The Job Right 

Notaries are often depicted as comedic characters in pop culture, but they also remind us of the importance of doing the job right. In “Parks and Recreation,” Garry Gergich (also known as Jerry, Larry, and Terry) receives the “Indiana Notary Society’s” highest honor. This is a significant role that notaries play in our society and the gravity of the tasks they are entrusted with. 

3. A History of Notaries in Pop Culture 

Throughout the years, notaries have been depicted in a number of television shows and films such as “Suits,” “Breaking Bad,” “Mad Men,” “The Godfather,” and “Casablanca.” Their presence in pop culture serves as a reminder of the important role that notaries play in our society. As well as the need for honesty and integrity in the notarization process.
