Question: 1 / 400

Under which condition may a notary not notarize a document?

When they are working remotely

When they have not been paid

When they are a mortgagor in a transaction

A notary may not notarize a document if they are a mortgagor in a transaction because it would result in a conflict of interest. When a notary is working remotely (option A), it is still possible to notarize a document as long as all necessary requirements are met. Not being paid (option B) does not prevent a notary from notarizing a document, as their duty is to notarize documents regardless of receiving payment. Notaries also have the ability to notarize multiple documents for the same client (option D), as long as the notary is not a party to the transaction and is not gaining any financial benefit from the transaction. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it is the only scenario where a notary would be prohibited from notarizing a document.
