An Ohio notary may notarize an instrument only within which boundaries?

United States
Ohio
The county where they are licensed
Any state adjacent to Ohio

The correct answer is: Ohio

A notary of Ohio may only notarize within the boundaries of the state of Ohio because their authority to notarize documents is limited only to that state. Option A, the United States, is incorrect because notaries are not granted nationwide authority, but rather are limited to the specific state in which they are licensed. Option C, the county where they are licensed, is also incorrect because notaries in Ohio are not limited to notarizing only in the county where they are licensed, but instead have authority throughout the entire state. Option D, any state adjacent to Ohio, is incorrect as notaries in Ohio do not have the authority to notarize documents in other states, even if they are nearby.
