If you are a notary commissioned by the State of California on July 1st, 2015 and you do not
renew your commission, which of the following is the first day you would be in violation of the
law if you were to acknowledge a signature?
Select one:
a. July 1st, 2018
b. July 2, 2019
c. July 1st, 2019
d. July 1st, 2018 ✔✔c.
This question makes you know two things:
1. The Commission Term (4 years)
2. The fact that you cannot perform service after your commission expires.
Your commission starts at 12:00am on the start date and ends at 11:59:59pm the last day of the

would be 4 years and 1 day, which is against statute.
In this scenario, the last day you could legally perform notary service is June 30th, 2019 until
midnight.
The correct answer is: July 1st, 2019

against them.

bonds in California and it protects the public for claims against the notary up to $15,000.
