Under what condition is advertising in a foreign language allowed for notaries?

  1. When it is online only

  2. When it includes all legal disclaimers in English

  3. In the form of a single desk plaque

  4. When the advertisement is approved by the Secretary of State

The correct answer is: In the form of a single desk plaque

Although options A, B, and D may seem like plausible conditions for advertising in a foreign language, they are not the correct answer because they do not entirely meet the requirements set by the National Notary Association (NNA). According to the NNA, notaries are allowed to advertise in a foreign language as long as they have a single desk plaque in the same language announcing that notarial acts are available in that language. This ensures that clients who may not be proficient in English are still aware of the services offered by the notary. Therefore, option C is the correct choice as it accurately reflects the NNA's guidelines for advertising in a foreign language.
