Two from the bank, answered.

Real items, with the answer marked and the reason written out — the same format as all 22.

Journal

What is the most heavily tested duty of a Hawaii notary?

  1. AAdvertising
  2. BKeeping a mandatory record (journal) of every official actCorrect
  3. CCertifying passports
  4. DSolemnizing marriages

Why: Hawaii places unusual emphasis on record-keeping: a notary must keep a permanent record of every notarial act, and this journal duty is the most heavily tested topic on the Hawaii exam. Complete, contemporaneous entries are mandatory, not optional.

Acts

Every Hawaii notarial certificate must include, in addition to the signature and seal:

  1. AThe signer's fingerprint
  2. BA certification statement and the notary's certification/identification numberCorrect
  3. CThe notary's home address
  4. DA photo of the document

Why: Hawaii requires a specific certification statement on each certificate plus the notary's signature, seal, and certification/identification number assigned by the Attorney General. Tying each act to the notary's certification number is a distinctive, tested Hawaii feature.
