The certificates shall include: 1. The printed __________ of the notary

• A. name
• B. address
• C. commission expiration
• D. seal

Answer: (A)

Identifying who performed the notarization is essential. The printed name of the notary on the certificate ensures anyone reviewing the document knows exactly which commissioned notary witnessed the signing and can verify that person against official records. This name provides accountability and a clear link to the notary’s commission. The address is not required on the certificate, the commission expiration date is typically part of the commission records rather than the certificate itself, and the seal is a separate authentication mark rather than a printed element. So the best choice is the notary’s name.
