When performing a signature by mark notarization, the signer must:

  1. Sign their name in full

  2. Make his or her mark in the Notary's journal

  3. Provide identification

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Make his or her mark in the Notary's journal

A signature by mark notarization is when the individual signing a document cannot physically sign their name, so they make their mark (such as a thumbprint) instead. In this case, the signer must have their mark recorded in the Notary's journal, along with any other necessary information. Signing their name in full (A) is not possible for individuals who require a signature by mark, and providing identification (C) would also be impossible if the individual cannot physically write their name. Option D is incorrect because the signer must still make their mark in the Notary's journal.
