Final answer:
Missouri notaries are required to keep a permanently bound journal with numbered pages for recording notarizations.
Step-by-step explanation:
A Missouri notary must keep records of notarizations in a permanently bound journal, with numbered pages, and not a spiral notebook or a journal where pages can be removed.
This statement is true. According to Missouri Revised Statutes Section 486.640, a notary public is required to keep a journal of notary acts that is a permanently bound book with sequentially numbered pages, ensuring that no pages can be removed without evidence of tampering.
