What must a notary ensure when acknowledging a signature on a legal document?

  1. Charge a fee

  2. Check the document for errors

  3. Ensure the signature matches the ID

  4. Mail the document to the court

The correct answer is: Ensure the signature matches the ID

A notary must ensure the signature matches the ID when acknowledging a signature on a legal document because this verifies the identity of the signer and helps prevent fraud. Charging a fee and mailing the document to the court are not required tasks for a notary when acknowledging a signature. While checking the document for errors is important, it is not the primary responsibility of a notary in this situation. The main priority is to accurately verify the identity of the signer.
