I'll add the following from the Workbook:
"Any member of the public may request a photostatic copy of the journal entry representing a transaction. The request must be in writing and must include the name of the parties, the type of document, and the month and year in which the notarial act occurred. The notary public may charge no more than thirty cents per page for copy requests. (California Government Code section 8206(c).) However, a member of the public is not entitled to obtain a copy of other line items that may be on the same page of the notary public’s journal and care should be taken to ensure that only the requested line item entry is disclosed. The notary public must respond within 15 days of receipt of the request with either a plain copy (not certified) of the requested journal entry or an acknowledgment that no such line item exists. (California Government Code section 8206.5.)"
