California Notary License Practice Exam

Who is not automatically disqualified from doing a notarization?

1. A Judge

2. A Police Officer

3. A Real Estate Agent

4. A Bank Teller

The correct answer is: A Real Estate Agent

A Judge would not be automatically disqualified from doing a notarization as they are a government official who is authorized to perform notarial acts. A Police Officer would not be automatically disqualified from doing a notarization, but it may be prohibited in certain states, as their job roles may raise questions of coercion or influence. A Bank Teller would not be automatically disqualified from doing a notarization, as long as they are not an interested party and are acting solely as a witness. A Real Estate Agent, however, would not be automatically disqualified from doing a notarization as they do not have the legal authority to perform notarial acts. They are also often involved in the transactions they are notarizing, which could raise concerns about impartiality. Therefore, they would need to obtain additional qualifications to become a notary public.
