A California notary public is presented with a subdivision map certificate that requires an Acknowledgment. The map is printed on a specialized mylar material that will smear standard stamp pad ink. How must the notary authenticate this act?

Apply an embosser seal and shade it with a pencil.

Attach a loose-leaf certificate of acknowledgment and stamp that instead.

Refuse the notarization, as the official seal is strictly mandatory for all acts without exception.

Type or print their name, county of principal place of business, and commission expiration date below or immediately adjacent to their signature, without using the seal.
