In this episode you will learn:
- An Arizona notary can notarize a signature on a document written in a language they do not understand.
- The primary notarial duties are to verify the signer's identity and witness the signature, not to understand or validate the document's contents.
- The notarial certificate must always be completed in a language the notary reads, writes, and understands, such as English.
- Arizona uniquely allows a notary to communicate with a signer either directly in a shared language or indirectly through a physically present translator.
- A helpful mnemonic for the exam is: 'Verify the Signer, Not the Script,' focusing your duty on the person, not the text.
