But since being a notary is something that one can learn to to then it isnt a perk.
Perks don't have to be magical or cinematic. They can be learned or developed.

In any event, failing or passing a skill roll has nothing to do with whether you are entitled in a jurisdiction to engage in a practice or not. I agree there is a skill involved in being a notary (whether a stand alone Prof. Skill, or a sub-specializations of Admin or Law), but whether you have that skill or not, you need the authorization of the government to hold yourself out to the public as a Notary. The reason people come to you is not your skill, but rather the imprimatur you are authorized to grant.
