Practice question
A traditional notary plans free notarization for Qualified Beneficiaries at a legal-aid venue outside the commission's territory, relying solely on ULAS Rule 4, Section 4. No electronic-notary authority is invoked. The notary says free service removes both office and territorial restrictions. Which answer is best?
- ULAS automatically grants a national commission
- Any charitable purpose removes territorial limits
- The beneficiary's consent replaces territorial authority
- ULAS relaxes the regular-office location restriction for qualifying acts but expressly retains the territorial jurisdiction of the commission
- A nominal gift expands the commission
