Notarial Record Book content records:

• A. Acts, protests, depositions, and other things noted or done in the notary's official capacity
• B. Notary license renewals
• C. Judgments
• D. Financial statements

Answer: (A)

The Notarial Record Book is the notary’s official journal, used to document every act performed in the notary’s official capacity. This includes recording acts such as acknowledgments, oaths and affirmations, jurats, and especially protests on negotiable instruments, as well as any depositions taken before the notary. The purpose is to provide a contemporaneous, auditable record of what was done, when, for whom, and in what capacity, which supports accountability and future verification.

License renewals belong to administrative licensing records, not to the notarial acts themselves. Judgments are court records, not entries in a notary’s journal. Financial statements are unrelated to notarial acts and are not kept in the Notarial Record Book.
