Which of the following documents cannot be photocopied by a notary?

Florida driver’s license
Marriage certificate
Bill of sale
US passport

The correct answer is: Marriage certificate

In Florida, certain documents are restricted from being photocopied by a notary public, and a marriage certificate is one of those documents. This restriction is primarily in place to protect the integrity and confidentiality of vital records. Marriage certificates are considered vital records that are issued by the state, and as such, notaries must ensure that they do not create unauthorized copies that could be misused or lead to identity fraud. The other documents mentioned, such as a Florida driver's license, bill of sale, and US passport, do not have the same restrictions imposed by state law regarding photocopying. Notaries may make copies of these types of documents as part of their duties, provided they ensure that they do so in compliance with any relevant privacy considerations. Thus, the prohibition on photocopying marriage certificates reflects the importance of safeguarding vital records while allowing more flexibility for other document types in notary practice.
