What is a notary prohibited from advertising using?

Notario publico or notario
Certified Notary
Official State Notary
Legal Document Assistant

The correct answer is: Notario publico or notario

Notaries are prohibited from advertising as "notario publico" or "notario" because these terms may be misleading for non-English speakers. Notario publico has a different meaning in Spanish-speaking countries and may lead people to believe the notary has the same legal qualifications as a lawyer. Certified Notary, Official State Notary, and Legal Document Assistant are all acceptable terms to use in advertising for a notary.
