Signers of which documents must leave a right thumbprint?

  1. Marriage Licenses

  2. Birth Certificates

  3. Power of Attorney and Trust Deed for Real Estate

  4. Immigration Forms

The correct answer is: Power of Attorney and Trust Deed for Real Estate

The option C, Power of Attorney and Trust Deed for Real Estate, requires the signature of the individual to be notarized. As a part of this process, the individual is required to leave a right thumbprint as a means of verification and authentication. This is done to ensure that the individual signing the document is who they claim to be and that the document is valid and legally binding. The other options, A Marriage Licenses, B: Birth Certificates, and D: Immigration Forms, do not typically require notarization and therefore do not require the individual to leave a thumbprint.
