Oct 19, 2026
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: - A California Notary's role in a deposition is limited to administering the oath and issuing a certificate. - The maximum fee for deposition services is $30, plus an additional $7 for the oath and $7 for the certificate. - Protesting a negotiable instrument is a formal declaration of non-payment for an instrument like a check. - Only notaries who are employees of a financial institution may perform a protest as part of their job. - Exam questions on protests test your knowledge of this restriction, not an outdated and repealed fee schedule.
