What details belong in the 'Additional Information' box?

• A. Type of personal appearance (in person, remote); representative capacity; whether a certificate was added; any special circumstances; if notarized a signature by mark; if you refused to notarize
• B. Only whether certificate was added
• C. Only representative capacity
• D. Only special circumstances

Answer: (A)

Details go in the Additional Information box to capture context that isn’t in the main certificate but can affect how the notarization is understood or challenged later. This includes how the signer appeared (in person or remote), whether the notary acted in a representative capacity, whether an extra certificate was added, any special circumstances that could affect the act, whether a signature was made by mark, and if you refused to notarize (with the reason). Recording all of these items together provides a complete, transparent record of the notarization. The other options list only a single detail, which wouldn’t give the full picture required for a proper note.
