How many entries are needed for notarizations that involve credible witnesses?

Just one for the document
Separate entry for each witness
No entries are needed for witnesses
Only a summary entry is needed

The correct answer is: Separate entry for each witness

The requirement for separate entries for each witness in notarizations involving credible witnesses is grounded in the notary's need to maintain a detailed and accurate record. Each credible witness must have their own entry to capture their information, such as name, address, and the nature of their credibility regarding the signer. This ensures that there is individual accountability and traceability for each witness's involvement in the notarization process. Having separate entries also facilitates transparency and provides a clear account of who was present and how they were able to vouch for the signer’s identity and understanding of the document being notarized. This level of detail is essential for legal protection and to uphold the integrity of the notarization process, particularly in cases where the validity of the notarization may later be questioned.
