Question: 1 / 400

If a principal cannot appear, who may bring the document to the notary?

A close relative

One subscribing witness

A subscribing witness is allowed to bring the document to the notary in the event that the principal cannot appear. The role of a subscribing witness is to witness the signing of a document and be able to attest to its authenticity. Therefore, they are seen as a reliable source to bring the document to the notary and confirm that it was indeed signed by the principal. A close relative, coworker, or attorney may not have the knowledge or authority to do so and cannot serve as a substitute for the principal in this situation.
