This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - An Arizona notary is strictly prohibited from certifying copies of vital records like birth, death, or marriage certificates. - Certified copies of publicly recordable documents, such as property deeds or court judgments, must be obtained from the official custodian (e.g., County Recorder). - The exam will test your ability to differentiate between a permissible copy certification for a private document and an impermissible one for a public record. - A common exam trap involves a client asking you to certify a photocopy of a vital record; the correct action is to refuse and direct them to the issuing agency. - Remember the core principle: If a certified copy can be obtained from another public official, a notary cannot perform the copy certification.
