The American Guild of Notaries Public was founded on a simple truth: trust is earned through consistent excellence. Every AGNP credentialed notary commits to a shared foundation of professional standards, ethical conduct, and clearly defined expectations that elevate our work far beyond state minimums.
Below you’ll find the core documents that guide our Guild—our Professional Standards, and Code of Ethics. Together, they form the framework for a national credentialing program rooted in knowledge, integrity, accountability, and service to the public.
Whether you are just beginning your journey with the Guild or advancing toward higher levels of recognition, these documents are the touchstones of what it means to be an AGNP notary.
