What is the role of the notary’s information on a certificate?

• A. Records the document's price
• B. Identifies the notary and provides authority
• C. Lists witnesses
• D. Sets the document's final disposition

Answer: (B)

Notary information on a certificate serves to prove who performed the notarization and that they had the authority to do so. The certificate typically includes the notary’s name, the phrase Notary Public, the commission number, expiration date, and the seal or stamp. This creates a verifiable link to a commissioned official, making the notarization legitimate and traceable. It isn’t about pricing the document, listing witnesses, or deciding what happens to the document after notarization.
