Correct Answer
D. Part 182 allows a notary to reconstruct missing entries from memory at month end.
Detailed Explanation
Part 182 requires timely and secure recordkeeping, not later reconstruction from memory. 19 NYCRR §182.9(a) says the records must be made contemporaneously, and §182.9(b) requires retention for at least ten years. In practice, secure third-party storage is allowed, but a notary may not simply recreate missing entries from memory after the fact.
