In this episode you will learn: - A signature by mark, such as an 'X' or thumbprint, is a valid signature method under Arizona notary law. - A signer in Arizona is permitted to use a mark even if they are not disabled or illiterate. - Contrary to the rules in many other states, Arizona law does NOT require any witnesses to be present for a signature by mark. - Exam questions on this topic often include incorrect answer choices suggesting one or two witnesses are needed, which is a common trap for candidates. - The notary's procedure still requires positively identifying the signer and making a complete and accurate journal entry for the notarization.
