What is a requirement for credible witnesses used in notarization?

Must be related to the notary
Must have a financial interest in the document
Must not have a financial interest in the document
Must be a resident of the state

The correct answer is: Must not have a financial interest in the document

In notarization, credible witnesses are individuals who can validate the identity of the person signing a document. It is important for credible witnesses to be impartial and have no financial interest in the document being notarized. Option A is incorrect because being related to the notary may create bias or a conflict of interest. Option B is incorrect because a financial interest may also create bias or a conflict of interest. Option D is incorrect because residency in the state is not a requirement for credibility. Overall, the purpose of having credible witnesses is to ensure the authenticity and integrity of the notarization process.
