For each official act, which details must be recorded about the document or proceeding?

• A. Title; Date; Type
• B. Time; Date; Title
• C. Date; Type; Title
• D. Title; Date; Type

Answer: (D)

When recording an official act, you want enough information to clearly link the act to the exact document and describe what was done, along with when it happened. The essential details are the title of the document or proceeding, the date the act took place, and the type of act performed (such as an acknowledgment or jurat).

The title identifies which document or proceeding the act pertains to, so you can locate and verify the record later. The date marks when the act occurred, providing a precise point in time for the transaction. The type describes the nature of the notarial act, clarifying what was performed. Time of day isn’t listed as a required element in this context, so the combination of Title, Date, and Type gives a complete, verifiable record of the official act.
