When notarizing a document for a personal friend, what must be included in your journal?

  1. Signer's favourite colour

  2. Signer's DL #, Type of document, notary fee

  3. Signer's birth date

  4. Length of friendship

The correct answer is: Signer's DL #, Type of document, notary fee

When notarizing a document, it is important to record specific information about the signer in a journal as a record of the notarization. This includes the signer's full name, type of document being notarized, notary fee, and the signer's driver's license number. This information helps to verify the identity of the signer and the legality of the document. Options A, C, and D are not necessary and should not be included in the journal as they do not serve a purpose in the notarization process.
