What is the primary role of a notary?

Acts as an official and unbiased witness to the identity of a person
Files legal documents
Performs marriage ceremonies
Represents clients in court

The correct answer is: Acts as an official and unbiased witness to the identity of a person

A notary's primary role is to act as a official and unbiased witness to the identity of a person. This includes verifying the identity of individuals signing legal documents, administering oaths or affirmations, and attesting or certifying documents. Option B is incorrect because a notary does not file legal documents; they simply verify signatures on them. Option C is incorrect because only certain notaries are authorized to perform marriage ceremonies, and it is not their primary role. Option D is incorrect because a notary is not authorized to represent clients in court; that is the role of a lawyer.
