What is a notary's responsibility when encountering a language barrier?

Request a translator
Reschedule the appointment
Recommend another notary who speaks the customer’s language
Attempt to communicate with hand gestures

The correct answer is: Recommend another notary who speaks the customer’s language

When encountering a language barrier as a notary, it is important to recommend another notary who speaks the customer's language. This ensures that the customer fully understands all documents and agreements they are signing. Requesting a translator (option A) may not always be possible or convenient, and rescheduling the appointment (option B) can be disruptive and inconvenient for both parties. Attempting to communicate with hand gestures (option D) is not a reliable or professional way to conduct business. As a notary, it is important to prioritize proper communication and understanding for all parties involved, and recommending another notary who speaks the customer's language is the best way to achieve this.
