Protests. According to Gov. Code section 8205(a)(1), a notary public may demand acceptance and payment of foreign and inland bills of exchange, or promissory notes, to protest them for nonacceptance and nonpayment. However, Gov. Code 8208 states this can ONLY be done by a notary employed by a financial institution.
