What may notaries not certify a copy of?

  1. A public record

  2. A birth certificate

  3. A photograph

  4. Journal entry requested by a member of the public

The correct answer is: Journal entry requested by a member of the public

Notaries may not certify a copy of a journal entry requested by a member of the public because notaries are prohibited from notarizing their own signature or a document in which they have a financial interest. Therefore, if a notary is the author of the journal entry, they cannot certify a copy of it. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because notaries are typically able to certify copies of public records, birth certificates, and photographs as long as they meet certain qualifications and follow proper procedures.
