Who signs notary certificates?

Witness
Notary
County Clerk
State Official

The correct answer is: Notary

A notary public is an authorized government official who can serve as a witness to the signing of important documents. Witness, County Clerk, and State Official are not authorized to sign notary certificates, making them incorrect choices. While a witness may be needed for certain documents, they do not have the legal authority to serve as a notary. A County Clerk may handle official documents, but they do not have the specific duties of a notary. And while a State Official may have a role in notary services, they do not have the direct responsibility of signing notary certificates. However, a notary public, as the correct answer, is specifically designated and trained to sign notary certificates.
