58. A notary may not alter or change the content of a notarial act after a party signs it, unless the party agrees to the alteration or change by affixing his or her initials in the margin opposite any changes made.

Nor may a notary suppress, destroy or alter a notarial act after it is closed. Should it be necessary to make changes to the act, the parties may do so only by means of another act.
