Arkansas Notary Practice Test

What should you do if you make a mistake while notarizing?

1. Correct it with an ink pen and initial

2. Discard the document and start over

3. Inform the client and request a new document

4. Use correction fluid and rewrite notarization

The correct answer is: Correct it with an ink pen and initial

If you make a mistake while notarizing, the best course of action would be to use an ink pen to make the correction and initial it. This is because using correction fluid or discarding the document and starting over may raise concerns about tampering with the original document. Informing the client and requesting a new document may also cause inconvenience and delay in the notarization process. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate and professional way to correct a mistake while notarizing.
