In case you haven't answered this already...per CA notary handbook 2006 on page 18, it talks about "Confidental Marriage Licenses" (whatever the heck THAT is!)...but it goes on to state "...in order for a Notary Public to perform a marriage, he/she must be one of the persons authorized under Family Code Sections 400-402, e.g. Priest, Minister or Rabbi..." It also talks about a separate course you must take which is given by the county clerk. Hope that answers your question. By the by, if you dont have a copy of your book, it is availabe on line at http://www.ss.ca.gov/business/notary/notary_hdbk.pdf
