Every notary public shall maintain a book, called a "Notarial Acts Book" which shall be in the form set out in Schedule 6 in which the notary public shall record the details of each notarial act carried out by the notary public and shall preserve the record of each such notarial act for a period of not less than ten years from the making thereof and shall, after the expiration of that period, deliver the book to the Clerk for retention by the Clerk in the archives of the Grand Court.
Any person whose appointment as a notary public has lapsed, has been suspended or has been revoked under this Law shall, within seven days from the date of such lapse, suspension or revocation, as the case may be, deliver all Notarial Acts Books in that person's possession to the Clerk for retention as part of the archives of the Grand Court.
Any person who, not being a notary public, comes into possession of a Notarial Acts Book shall forthwith deliver such book to the Clerk.
Any person who contravenes this section commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine of one thousand dollars or to imprisonment for a term of six months, or to both.
