After approval of a notary application, what public record is maintained at the county clerk's office?

AI Explanation

This is a core process fact from the introduction. The booklet explains that, after approval, the county clerk maintains a record of the commission and signature of the notary public so the public can verify the official signature. Not to be confused with Part 182 records, this county-clerk record is not the notary's own act-by-act journal.
