Question: 1 / 400

What is essential for a notary to verify during an acknowledgment?

The document is legally binding

Signer's identity was satisfactorily proven to notary

A notary is responsible for verifying the identity of the signer through satisfactory proof. Option A is incorrect because the legality of the document does not fall under the notary's duty. Option C is incorrect because the notary is not responsible for verifying if the document has been previously notarized. Option D is incorrect because the notary is not responsible for ensuring the signer has read the document, only that their identity has been verified. Therefore, the only essential task for a notary during an acknowledgment is to verify the signer's identity through satisfactory proof.
