What is essential for a notary to verify during an acknowledgment?

  1. The document is legally binding

  2. Signer's identity was satisfactorily proven to notary

  3. The document has been previously notarized

  4. The signer has read the document

The correct answer is: Signer's identity was satisfactorily proven to notary

A notary is responsible for verifying the identity of the signer through satisfactory proof. Option A is incorrect because the legality of the document does not fall under the notary's duty. Option C is incorrect because the notary is not responsible for verifying if the document has been previously notarized. Option D is incorrect because the notary is not responsible for ensuring the signer has read the document, only that their identity has been verified. Therefore, the only essential task for a notary during an acknowledgment is to verify the signer's identity through satisfactory proof.
