Oh my, I do see your issue. I have NEVER done an aka in a notary certificate or ever heard of any California notary putting an aka (also known as) until today on this forum. I find it highly unusual. My personal take and best practices would be not to add the aka. Part of the "info box" on top of the CA notary certificates clearly states the notary is verifying "only the identity of the individual. Not the truthfulness, accuracy, or validity of the document.” Once the certificate is attached to the document it become part of that document. How can a Ca notary certify that Lori Smith is also known as Lori L. Smith? Even if Lori told me she is also known as, I still can’t certify that as a CA notary. I feel “aka” is a statement and not a signature. We identify people and notarize signatures in California, not statements.

Notary Hand Book page 25 (Info box on top of notary certificate)
"A notary public or other officer completing this
certificate verifies only the identity of the
individual who signed the document to which this
certificate is attached, and not the truthfulness,
accuracy, or validity of that document."

I feel for you on this one.
