A possible penalty for committing perjury as a Notary Public is

  1. 2 years in prison

  2. 3 years in prison

  3. 4 years in prison

  4. ALL OF THE ABOVE

The correct answer is: ALL OF THE ABOVE

A Notary Public who is found guilty of committing perjury, intentionally making false statements under oath, can face a range of penalties including imprisonment, fines, and revocation of their notary license. Options A, B, and C all mention a specific amount of time in prison, but the consequence for perjury can range from 2 to 4 years depending on the state and the severity of the offense. Option D is the most accurate as it includes all possible penalties that a Notary Public may face for committing perjury. It is important for Notary Publics to uphold the oath they have taken and avoid any actions that may result in these penalties.
