Which of the following is an exception to the rule against foreign language advertising for notaries?

  1. A bilingual website

  2. A single desk plaque stating services in a foreign language

  3. Email marketing in foreign languages

  4. Social media posts in multiple languages

The correct answer is: A single desk plaque stating services in a foreign language

When it comes to advertising in a foreign language, notaries are generally restricted to choosing an option that uses one language only. This means that options A, C, and D, which involve using multiple languages, are not an exception to the rule and are therefore incorrect. However, a desk plaque that displays the notary's services in a foreign language is an exception and does not violate the rule against foreign language advertising. This is because the primary language used on the plaque is still the official language of the notary's state, and the foreign language is simply an added feature.
