Can a California Notary Public provide legal advice or choose the type of notarial certificate (e.g., Acknowledgment vs. Jurat) for a client?

• Yes, it is the notary's duty to ensure the correct certificate is attached.
• Yes, if the notary has taken a state-approved training course.
• No, the signer must choose the certificate type, or the notary must refuse the notarization.
• No, but the notary can call the Secretary of State to ask for legal advice on behalf of the client.
