A notary public works as a logistics coordinator for Truckingway Logistics. The employer paid for the notary's commission, seal, and sequential journal. Upon termination of employment, the employer demands the notary surrender the seal and journal. What must the notary do?

Retain the seal and journal as they are the direct and exclusive property of the notary public.

Surrender both the seal and journal because the employer paid for the commission and supplies.

Turn the seal and journal over to the county clerk within 30 days of termination.

Surrender only the journal since the notarial transactions were directly associated with the employer's business.
