California Notary License Practice Exam

When notarizing a document containing an acknowledgment, it is permissible to accept a document that has already been signed. This means that the document can be signed before or after it is presented to the notary for notarization. Option A is incorrect because the document does not need to be blank or unsigned for it to be notarized. Option C is incorrect because there is no requirement for two witnesses to be present when signing a document for notarization. Option D is incorrect because the notary's signature is typically the last step in the notarization process, after the document has been signed by all necessary parties.
