This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - Signature by proxy is only for a principal signer who is physically unable to write their name or make any mark. - The principal signer must verbally direct another individual (the proxy) to sign on their behalf, and this must occur in the notary's presence. - The proxy must first sign the principal's name and then sign their own name. - The notary is required to add specific language to the notarial certificate, such as “Signature affixed by (Proxy's Name) at the direction of (Principal's Name)”. - It is a critical exam point to distinguish signature by proxy from signature by mark, which has different requirements in Arizona.
