Under the CPRA framework (A.M. No. 22-09-01-SC) and the Notarial Practice Rules (A.M. No. 02-8-13-SC, as amended), Atty. Rafael Lim, Filipino citizen, 41 years old, admitted to the Philippine Bar 9 years ago and residing in Iloilo City, applies for appointment as Notary Public for Iloilo City. He has never been disbarred or suspended and has no criminal charges. He has one pending administrative complaint for unethical conduct filed by a former client, which remains unresolved. (a) Identify the governing standard for qualifications to become a Notary Public. (b) Based on the facts, is Atty. Lim qualified to be appointed as Notary Public in Iloilo City? Explain with reference to the standard and the facts. (c) If he is not qualified, what is the proper course or remedy to attain qualification?

Choose the Best Answer

The governing standard requires a minimum of ten years of continuous bar practice; Atty. Lim has nine years, so he is not qualified. The governing standard requires the applicant to have passed a separate Notarial Practice examination; there is no such exam; thus he is not eligible. The governing standard requires only that the applicant be a member of the Philippine Bar in good standing; pending administrative complaints do not automatically bar appointment. The governing standard is that a Notary Public must be a Filipino citizen, a member of the Philippine Bar in good standing, and of good moral character, with no pending administrative action or unresolved disciplinary case; therefore Atty. Lim is not qualified due to the pending administrative complaint.
