Which of the following is NOT one of the six Notary Acts?
Protest
Copy of deposition certification
Certification of authenticity
Verification on Oath or Affirmation
The correct answer is: Certification of authenticity
The correct answer identifies a function that is not categorized as one of the six Notary Acts recognized in Pennsylvania. The certification of authenticity, while it may seem like a task that a notary might perform, does not specifically fall under the six statutory acts that notaries are authorized to conduct. The six Notary Acts typically include activities such as administering oaths, taking acknowledgments, and certifying copies of documents. Each act has its own specific legal definitions and requirements. The practice of certifying authenticity is not explicitly listed among these six acts, highlighting its distinction from the core responsibilities of a notary. This distinction underscores the fact that each notarial function is defined by law, and not all tasks related to document handling or verification are included in those definitions. Thus, the identification of certification of authenticity as an outlier is accurate.
