Notary

Notary is a direct LegalService subtype for notaries public: document authentication, oaths, certified copies. It adds no properties of its own.

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Notary",
  "name": "Dunmore Notary Services",
  "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "220 Main St", "addressLocality": "Dunmore", "addressRegion": "PA", "postalCode": "18512", "addressCountry": "US" }

Google rich results this unlocks

Notary is a structural type. It does not produce a rich result on its own.

Its value comes from combining it with a primary type whose markup earns a rich result (Article, Product, Event, and so on). Notary becomes the trunk that the primary type branches off viamainEntityorbreadcrumb. Include it on every page as the backbone of your markup.

Common Notary mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

    Right
    If the office offers both, consider dual-typing with Attorney + Notary, or list Notary as a separate service offering
