When can a notary notarize a document?

When the signer requests it
When the document has been fully completed
When the notary is familiar with the signer
Only when legal representation is present

The correct answer is: When the document has been fully completed

A notary can notarize a document when it has been fully completed because the act of notarization verifies the identity of the signer and their willingness to sign the document, as well as that they understand its contents. This means that the notary needs to ensure that all necessary sections of the document are filled out before proceeding with the notarization. Notarizing a document that is not fully completed could lead to misunderstandings or potential fraud, as the notary's role is to witness and affirm the signing of a specific and complete document. While the request from the signer and familiarity may be factors in the process, they do not alone satisfy the requirements for notarization without the document being fully completed and ready for signing. Legal representation is not a requirement for a notary to perform notarization, making that option unsuitable. Thus, the correct choice emphasizes the importance of the document's completeness in the notarization process.
