Which of the following is a rule regarding notarizing documents?

Notaries can notarize blank documents
Notaries must never notarize blank or incomplete documents
Notaries can notarize documents after they are signed
Notaries can sign a document on behalf of the signer

The correct answer is: Notaries must never notarize blank or incomplete documents

The correct choice emphasizes the professional responsibility of notaries to ensure the integrity of the documents they notarize. Notarizing blank or incomplete documents poses significant legal risks, as it could lead to fraud or the misuse of the document's intent. By adhering to the guideline that prohibits notarizing such documents, notaries help maintain the credibility of the notarization process and safeguard against potential misuse. Notaries are tasked with verifying the identity of the signer and the completion of the document before affixing their seal and signature. This rule protects both the notary and the public, as it ensures that all information is accurate and complete, thereby ensuring the document serves its intended legal purpose.
