When notarizing a document, whose responsibility is it to fill out the notary section entirely?

  1. The requester's

  2. The notary's

  3. The lawyer's

  4. The judge's

The correct answer is: The notary's

When notarizing a document, it is the notary's responsibility to fill out the notary section entirely. The notary's role is to act as an impartial witness and verify the identity of the individual signing the document. It is their responsibility to ensure that the document is completed accurately and in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. The other options, such as the requester, lawyer, or judge, do not have the authority to perform the duties of a notary. In fact, if the notary section is not filled out correctly, the document may be rejected and require re-notarization, resulting in potential delays and added costs. Therefore, it is important for the notary to take full responsibility for filling out the notary section entirely.
