Your dear friend, Marvin R. Gibson of Sacramento, CA, has just completed a multibillion dollar business transaction which will need to be notarized.  Marvin asks you to notarize the final documents for him.  The attorneys who drew up the documents require that you use a Jurat.  You place Marvin under oath.

You and Marvin’s mother, Joy, are entertained by Marvin’s pet bird, Furious, and during the course of your stay, you forget to have Marvin raise his right hand when you administer the oath.  What will be the penalty for this action?

None, you are not required to have Marvin raise his right hand.

     A fine up to $1,500 and a possible suspension of your notary commission.

 A fine up to $500 and a possible suspension of your notary commission.
