Why must a notary agree on the charges before performing services?

  1. To ensure no additional fees are applied

  2. To provide transparency and avoid disputes

  3. To comply with national laws

  4. To record the transaction accurately

The correct answer is: To provide transparency and avoid disputes

A notary must agree on the charges before performing services to provide transparency and avoid any potential disputes between the parties involved in the transaction. This also ensures that all parties are aware of the fees that will be charged beforehand. Option A is incorrect because ensuring no additional fees are applied is not the main reason a notary must agree on charges. Option C is incorrect because while it is important to comply with national laws, it is not the main reason a notary needs to agree on charges. Option D is incorrect because recording the transaction accurately is not the main reason a notary must agree on charges.
