What may a California Notary do?

  1. Take depositions and affidavits

  2. Issue legal judgments

  3. Practice law

  4. Provide legal advice

The correct answer is: Take depositions and affidavits

A California Notary Public is certified by the state government to act as an impartial witness in the signing of important documents. They are not allowed to practice law, issue legal judgements, or provide legal advice, as these tasks require specialized legal training and qualifications. As a Notary, the main duties include verifying the identity of the parties involved in the signing of a document, ensuring that all parties sign the document willingly and without duress, and keeping a record of the notarization. They also have the authority to take depositions and affidavits, which are sworn statements made under oath and used as evidence in legal proceedings.
