Arizona Notary Exam Prep 98, Avoiding UPL — Don't Choose for Signer

Aug 13, 2026
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: - Choosing a notarial act for a signer constitutes the Unauthorized Practice of Law (UPL) for an Arizona Notary. - A notary is only permitted to explain the factual differences between an acknowledgment and a jurat. - An acknowledgment confirms the signer appeared before the notary and declared they willingly signed the document. - A jurat requires the signer to swear or affirm that the contents of the document are true, and it must be signed in the notary's presence. - The mnemonic 'Explain, don't elect' is a key reminder of the notary's limited role in this situation.
