NOTARIES: MUST PROVIDE JOURNAL INFORMATION WITHIN 15 DAYS

Government Code Section 8206.5

Current law requires a notary public to keep a journal of all the official acts he or she performs, and to include in the journal information of every document he or she notarizes. Current law also requires a notary public, upon a written request of any member of the public, to provide a copy of any line item contained in the journal.

This new law requires a notary public to provide a copy of the line item to the requesting member of the public, or acknowledge that the line item does not exist, within 15 business days of receipt of the request.

May be reprinted for non-commercial use if a credit line is included acknowledging the County of Los Angeles Department of Consumer Affairs.
