Under the source material, which item is required to be included in a member of the public's written request for a copy of a notary journal entry?
The request must include the date of the notarial act, not the commission number.
Government Code section 8206(c) requires a member of the public’s written request to identify the journal entry with the names of the parties, the type of document or transaction, and the month and year the notarization occurred. These identifiers are the statutory minimum needed to locate the specific line item before any copy may be provided.
The request must include the requestor's name and the specific entry date.
A police report is not required; only the requestor's name and signature are needed.
