Is it allowable for a notary public to notarize for a family member in what capacity?

  1. As a public official

  2. As an employee

  3. As a notary

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: As an employee

A notary public cannot notarize for a family member as a public official, even if they hold a position such as a mayor or law enforcement officer. They also cannot do this as a notary public, as that would still be considered notarizing for a family member. The only scenario in which a notary public can notarize for a family member is if they are an employee of the person requesting notarization. In all other capacities, it is not allowed.
