Yes, forging a notary public seal or the signature of a notary public is considered a crime because it involves falsifying official documents. It is regarded as a serious offense because it undermines the integrity of the notary public system and can lead to legal and financial consequences for those involved in the forgery. Penalties for such actions can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances of the forgery.
