A notary public in government service shall perform, with charge, the services of a notary public in all matters of business pertaining to the State, any political subdivision thereof, or the United States.

• A. True
• B. Not specified
• C. Not applicable
• D. False

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that notaries serving in government must provide official notarial services for state, subdivision, or federal matters without charging a fee. Public officers perform their duties in service to the government, so charging for those official acts would conflict with that role. Because the statement says “with charge” for matters pertaining to the State or the United States, it’s not correct. In private capacity, a notary can charge standard fees, but for official government duties, no charge is allowed.
