Is keeping a journal for notarizations mandatory?

Yes, it is required by law
No, it is optional
Yes, but only for certain documents
No, unless requested by an employer

The correct answer is: No, it is optional

The correct answer clarifies that keeping a journal for notarizations is not a mandatory requirement. While maintaining a journal can be a beneficial practice for various reasons, including record-keeping and accountability, it is ultimately optional under the law in Utah. A notary may choose to keep a journal to help document their activities and ensure they have a reliable reference for any notarizations they perform, but the law does not compel them to do so. The other options suggest varying degrees of obligation to maintain a journal, which do not align with current legal requirements. For instance, claiming that it is only necessary for certain documents or based on employer requests introduces unnecessary limitations that are not supported by the law in Utah. Therefore, the understanding that keeping a journal is optional allows notaries to make a personal choice on whether they wish to maintain such a record. This knowledge can empower notaries to safeguard their professional integrity while adhering to the regulations governing their practice.
