There are a lot of signers who don’t understand what Notaries do, and that often leads to confusing requests when it’s not clear what type of notarization the signer wants. In these situations, can you figure out if you can help the signer or not? Take our quiz and find out.
“I need a copy of my birth certificate notarized so the agency I’m sending it to has proof it’s authentic. Can you do this for me?” What should you do?
