If asked to notarize an incomplete document, a notary should:

  1. Proceed with caution

  2. Refuse

  3. Complete the document themselves

  4. Consult a lawyer

The correct answer is: Refuse

Proceeding with caution may not fully protect the notary from potential legal issues that may arise from notarizing an incomplete document. Completing the document themselves can also be considered tampering with the document and is not within the scope of a notary's duties. Consulting a lawyer can be a helpful option, but refusing to notarize the incomplete document is the appropriate and ethical decision for a notary.
