Under what condition are certified journal entry copies permissible?

  1. When notarized by another official

  2. When properly applied for

  3. When archived digitally

  4. When mandated by law

The correct answer is: When properly applied for

The correct answer focuses on the scenario in which certified journal entry copies are permissible based on established procedures. Specifically, certified journal entry copies require proper application to ensure that the request adheres to legal standards and regulations governing notarial practices. This application process ensures that the integrity and authenticity of the notarial records are maintained and that only authorized individuals or entities can access these documents. Other options do not adequately capture the requirement for proper application. Notarization by another official, while relevant in certain contexts, does not specifically pertain to the certification of journal entries. Digital archiving is important for record-keeping but does not directly pertain to the conditions under which certified copies can be issued. Lastly, while some laws may mandate certain practices, the necessity of proper application is a fundamental prerequisite for obtaining certified journal entries.
