What should a notary do if a document appears to be incomplete or altered?

Notarize anyway
Report it to legal authorities
Refuse to notarize
Seek advice from another notary

The correct answer is: Refuse to notarize

A Notarizing an incomplete or altered document goes against the ethical and legal obligations of a notary. It is important to only notarize complete and unaltered documents to maintain the integrity and validity of the notarized act. B: While reporting to legal authorities may be necessary in some situations, it should not be the first course of action. Notaries have a duty to protect the public and should first make attempts to address the issue with the individual presenting the document. D: Seeking advice from another notary may be helpful, but the primary responsibility falls on the notary who is presented with the document. It is important for notaries to be knowledgeable and confident in their own abilities to determine the validity of a document. In summary, the correct action for a notary to take if a document appears incomplete or altered is to refuse to notarize. This ensures that the notary upholds their duties and responsibilities and protects the public from potential fraud or unethical practices.
