What information must be printed legibly on the information page of each record book?

• A. Name; Address; Number; Expiration; Book
• B. Name; Address; Number; Issuance; Book
• C. Name; Address; Number; Expiration; Email
• D. Name; Address; Number; Email; Book

Answer: (C)

The information page must include identifying details and a current way to contact the notary, tying the notary to an active and verifiable authority. The name and address establish who the notary is and where they operate. The commission number is a unique identifier that allows anyone to verify the notary’s official status with the appropriate governing authority. The expiration date shows until when the commission is valid, ensuring the notary is authorized to act; acts performed after expiration aren’t valid. Including an email provides a modern, direct contact method for verification or inquiries.

The other fields don’t belong on the information page because they’re not part of confirming the notary’s current authority or providing a reliable contact method, and they could introduce ambiguity (for example, a book designation isn’t part of the notary’s issued authority, and “issuance” wouldn’t accurately reflect the needed validity date).
