A notarial protest is a formal declaration by the notary public stating that a negotiable instrument (such as a check, promissory note, or bill of exchange) was presented and was refused for payment or acceptance. This creates an official record of non-payment or dishonor. In compliance with Indiana law (IC 33-42-14), fees are charged per notarial act.
