In Connecticut, the official designation for a public official who authenticates signatures is Notary Public. The term “notario publico” is used in civil-law jurisdictions to describe a different kind of legal official with broader authority, not a U.S. notary’s limited powers. Using that term would mislead the public about what a Connecticut notary is authorized to do and is not permitted. So the statement is false.
