Is it true that a Notary Public may notarize a signature if the signer is not present?

True
False
Only in certain circumstances
False, but only for urgent matters

The correct answer is: False

A Notary Public is required to have the signer physically present at the time of notarization to verify their identity and to ensure that they are signing voluntarily. This is a fundamental principle of notarization, as the notary must witness the signing process to confirm that it is authentic and to prevent any potential fraud. The presence of the signer is crucial for the notary to ensure that the individual understands the document they are signing, and that they are doing so willingly. Allowing notarization without the signer's presence would undermine the integrity of the notarization process and could lead to legal complications, making it mandatory for the signer to be in attendance to have their signature notarized.
