AI Explanation

Foreign language advertising regulations for non-attorneys. According to CA Gov. Code § 8219.5, every non-attorney notary public who advertises in a language other than English must post a prescribed notice in BOTH English and the other language. This notice must state they are not an attorney and cannot give legal advice, and it must list the fees set by statute that a notary may charge.
