Do CA notaries must disclose their commission number on business cards?

I read the handbook and talked to the SEc of state, but they were not able to help me with this question: are calif notaries required to disclose their commission number on biz cards (ex: realtors and insurance agents must)... and second: is there a restriction of how many titles I may print in one biz card ex: if I'm a certf paralegal or an event planner, can I also put that on teh same card as "Notary Public" ?

Do CA notaries must disclose their commission number on business cards?
1. Notaries in CA do not have to disclose their commission numbers on business cards. Realtors also are not required, because commission is always negotiable between the parties involved.





2. There is no restriction to the number of titles or certifications you print on a business card. It may not look as professional if you include your hair styling certification on your notary business card, but nobody will stop you.
Reply:lawclerk's answer is incorrect--the commission number for a notary is different from the commission a realtor/real estate agent makes in selling a house. A realtor's license number (equivalent to a notary's commission number) is typically required on a realtor's business cards... Report Abuse
