Under what condition can notary actions be limited to business transactions?

  1. If a private employer and an employee enter into an agreement

  2. When notarizing for a family member

  3. When the notary decides

  4. State law restrictions

The correct answer is: If a private employer and an employee enter into an agreement

Notary actions can only be limited to business transactions if there is an agreement between a private employer and an employee. This is because notaries must always follow state law restrictions, which state that they cannot notarize for family members or make their own decisions about when to limit their actions. Therefore, options B and C are incorrect. Additionally, notaries must also follow state law restrictions when notarizing, meaning that option D is not the correct answer as it does not explain the specific condition under which actions can be limited.
