A notary public performs a notarization and decides to charge no fee at all. What entry, if any, must be made in the sequential journal regarding the fee?

AI Explanation

Journal entry required even when no fee is charged. Government Code section 8206 requires the fee charged to be recorded in the journal for every notarial act. The handbook explicitly states: 'The notary public is required to make an entry in the notary public journal even if no fee was charged, such as "no fee" or "0."' This ensures the journal is a complete record of all notarial acts.
