Question: 1 / 400

What is not required for notaries to record in their journals?

The signer's address

Notaries are not required to record the signer's address because it is considered to be personal information and violates the signer's privacy. The other options, recording the type of document, the date of notarization, and a thumbprint of the signer, are all required by state laws to be recorded in notary public journals for record-keeping and verification purposes. Notaries must also ensure that the signer is physically present during the notarization process to prevent fraud and errors.
